Co Op

A makeover from the old Somerfield Store. Brighter, wider aisles, clean and fresh. Before overhaul I would only shop there if I had to, now I find myself happily walking up there. The main attraction is the fresh bread/​bakery. I can’t help myself. I am totally hooked on the «Cheese Boule», worth breaking any diet for. Soft, delicious and OMG! Nice to also see a small section for those who have food allergies of some kind or another. Genius bread and gluten free biscuits/​pasta and a few other bits. Also they have a small hot food section, which had pasties, potato wedges and sometimes whole roasted chicken. On the downside the Fruit/​Veg section is smaller than before and the choice therefore is a bit restricted. I am all for local shopping, and I prefer walking to buy what I need as opposed to buying things you desire at the time and end up throwing away after eating a piece or two. (Downside of large superstores) It’s a basic store and it’s good to have a choice if you don’t wish to walk into town and shop at the Metro Store. I like it and will be shopping there more often
