  • On Macknade Fine Foods:

    Posted on 31st of July 2006

    "Farm Shop" is a bit of a misnomer when referring to Macknade, yet "delicatessen" doesn't do it justice either! I'm seriously fed up with the stupid pricing policies of the big supermarkets, and their 'mission' to make me buy more than I want (for example buy two corn on the cob, get two free) .... I buy SINGLE corn cobs from Macknade. Seriously though you can get pretty much every bit of fruit & veg you may want at Macknade, and it's generally sensibly priced (HUGE bunches of fresh herbs at a similar price to a tiny plastic pack from a supermarket). When you add to this the fact that you'd be hard pressed to ask for an obscure ingredient that they don't stock, their brilliant range of cheeses (just try to avoid Saturdays if you want to taste any of them as it does tend to get busy and you'll cause a queue!), cooked meats, fresh meats, Brogdale cherries and strawberries that actually taste like strawberries! Excellent store, great staff, easy parking - and I wish them luck!!
