I’ve increasingly been finding that I can get almost everything I want locally, without having to go to a supermarket. Now that a I see a new butcher is opening up in Pitshanger Lane, which is where I do my ‘ping, I’ll be able to get almost everything locally. Below I’ve mapped out the main independent food shops in Pitshanger, all of which I regularly use. For heavy items and general stocking up on detergent etc I do a quarterly-ish Tesco delivery.
These include:
- T H Carr - Fishmonger (which I’ve mentioned a few … times)
- Rays Fruit Bowl - Grocer
- The Village Pantry - Delicatessen
- Pitshanger Village Bakery
- McCreadies – Butcher
Best of all, they’re all very close together, as you can see on this map!
Do you use local shops as much as possible? If not, have you got a reason; really, I’d be interested to know if they are poor quality, or inconvenient etc.
