• It's a nice shop in a nice town

This is a nice shop selling nice things in a lovely little town in beautiful Northumberland. It's shops and towns like these that make rural places a treat to visit. I thought I’d update my review after 12 years as quite a lot has improved since then. The stock consists mainly of fair trade items such as bags, clothing, craft stuff and candles etc. The whole area on the right is dedicated to foodstuffs such as fair trade, organic and vegan chocolates, biscuits, crisps, snacks, condiments, mayonnaise, curry pastes, grains, flours and pulses, tahini, spreads, snacks and dried foods. A reasonably well stocked fridge with V-Bites products, vegan cheeses, tofu, and various meat subsitute products is towards the rear of the store. Fairly well priced but a few things can be quite expensive. I suppose it's the only place in town where you can get such specialist items so you're saving by not traveling to somewhere like Newcastle or Berwick or having to order online. It's definitely worth checking out if in town. Today I picked up some wholewheat digestives, rose harissa paste, a “turkey” style V-Bites roast joint and some chick pea (gram) flour. Absolutely delighted. Updated from previous review on 2013-01-17
