Handy local shop - Edit
Such a great store to top up on all your dried vegan staples. They also have a great variety of vegan chocolate and sweets available, including some brands I haven’t tried before!

Fantastic range of options - Edit
A great go-to for items you can’t easily get elsewhere. We often stop in for the mini Booja-Booja ice cream pots! 😋

Love it! - Edit
Finally found black salt here! Plus red miso paste and wheat gluten to make Seitan. I didn’t find it overpriced, for example I bought a freshly made whole meal sourdough bread which was quite large for around £3.50.

Very convenient - Edit
I come here almost every day to pick up vegan stuff that other shops don’t stock. I’ve never not been able to find what I’m looking for at Wholefoods and they even have some vegan junk food (chickn nuggets, chocolate, etc.) which is always fun to try out.

Excellent range - Edit
All the usual health food shop staples and more speciality vegan stuff too (Veganaise, cheeses, Tofurkey products, frozen foods etc etc). They often have very new ranges and brands in before anywhere else.

Fab range of vegan goodies - Edit
A good place to stock up on *hemhem* "health food items" like Booja Booja chocolate and ice cream, Violife cheeses (even the new halloumi one!) and lots of the German vegan chocolate brands like iChoc, Vivani etc and they are not extortionately priced. They also have ethical products like Faith in Nature soaps loose (no wasteful packaging) plus fresh vegetables, jars of nut butters etc.
Read morePros: Good range

Nice! - Edit
Got there 15mins before closing time, but they still accommodated us. The place has a hippie feeling to it and is a nice place if you have small children. There were plenty of choices on the board and our food was very tasty too. They did bring us some butter when we asked if everyting was clearly vegan, but they were very apologetic about it and replaced it with vegan marge. Food tasty, staff very nice & helpful, would definetely good back again!
