• On Macknade Fine Foods:

  Posted on 19th of June 2007

  I started using Macknades in 1992. The roof leaked (it's still prone to flooding in very heavy rain) but the veg were FRESH and lots cheaper than the local shops and supermarkets. Over the years it has 1.Refurbished the buildings. 2. Reconfigured the layout- on many occasions. 3.Expanded the range of items. 4. Even brought more tills to speed up the 'checkout'. BUT it has never compromised on Quality. Always found new ideas to increase the range - Fresh orange juice, Bakery with different and fresh baked breads , The CHEESE COUNTER, The COLD MEATS-pates,hams,etc. The range and variety of Pastas, Sauces,pre-packed but o-so-tasty nibbles, smoked meats & fishes. Freezer cabinets that are DIFFERENT- loose Caribbean stir fry mix, same with chinese, plus fruits, nuts, and - most importantly- Seasonal LOCAL Asparagus, Kentish New Potatoes, the rhubarb that spits in your eye when it snaps(& makes a wonderful homemade Cheesecake). I could go on but I shall be restrained and stop here. I Enjoy Macknades !! don't forget the wines & liqueurs.
