If you want to cook dinner then you can't go wrong with Millys for great fruit and veg and M&K Butchers for fantastic meat and home made pies - and anything else you need can be bought from the Sainsburys local or Costcutter thats open till late.

If you fancy a meal out then Bishy Road has everything including British, Indian, Chinese and Italian restaurants - and all a 2 min walk from the cottage.
