Windsor Fruit Stores

I love that shop! It has all the fruit and veg anyone who is health conscious should desire at a fraction of the price you would expect.
Like a good child of the late 80’s early 90’s, well conditionned by society to rely for my weekly supply only on mother supermaket, I used to buy my standard sized fruit&veg from loyalty checking megahouse, believing of course that this was the best thing for me.
Sadly in the area where I used to live, small shop keeper where a thing of the past. In our village we had 2 small supermarkets and just the 1 butcher. Although my parents used to have fresh veg boxes delivered regularly, this was quite an expensive choice for them.
When moving to Penarth a year ago, I discovered lodged under the Arcade this small but magnificient grocerer gorged with luscious all shapes and sizes colourful amazing, fragant and CHEAP fresh, unpacked, unprocessed fruits and vegetables. Amazingly too, since they are sourced locally they are fresher thus keep longer (well that the theory since we eat them quicker as they are nicer).
So anyone reading this: go there and try them. The staff is friendly, the products are great. They also have some old stuff such as liquorice sticks and some very old fashion sweets.

It’s really great to see places like this still flourishing in a town where there’s a local Sainsbury’s, Tesco AND Co-​Operative, all within 100 metres.
I always prefer to go to a good greengrocers. You know that the products are going to be local and in season. They usually have a better selection of products than little supermarkets, and they don’t generally sell out before the end of the day. (Oh, Tesco, why can’t you ever order enough apples and carrots?)
The staff here are lovely and, quite importantly, have lovely Welsh accents. This is a great place to come to feel a little more inspired about your five a day.
Be warned though, they don’t accept cards, but there’s a cash machine just outside the arcade.

This has got to be one of the finest greengrocers in south wales! Situated in the Windsor arcade, the exterior of the shop front is always piled high with the freshest produce and much of it is locally sourced. Prices are very reasonable and if something isn’t there that you need, the fabulous staff will get it in for you. And not just your regular food eitherI was beside myself when I found out I could order fresh horseraddish and whats more it came in the following day! It is a pleasure to spend a bit of time browsing and the shop also stocks lots of other useful items like spices, seasoning and fresh, free range eggs.
