Our local supermarket and one of the best stocked supermarkets I've ever come across. I don't think there's anything I haven't been able to find there yet! It's recently been expanded and now has a large range of gourmet foods and local wines.

We enjoy having coffee here after an early morning ride. You can sit outside and watch the bay. Quite good for dinner too, although inside is small and we've found the service can be a bit patchy.
