World Deli, Heathertons, Deli in the market place the + Markets we have, etc etc. You can't call for the support of local independants if you are not willing to support them yourselves.

Exactly.

Quoted from PaulaM

Hethertons get my money six days a week, so don't even start. Didn't even know there was a Deli ! Are the market traders locals ?  Have you used "etc etc" because you can't actually think of anymore ???  
A farm shop would be nice.

How about The Empire Cafe in Cheap Street, probably the oldest independent bakery in Newbury.
( And for those not worried about their figure Wendy still makes the best Lardy Cakes ).  

Quoted from PaulaM

Just popped along to World Deli, as per your recommendation - and they have gone out of business within two months !

I was slightly put off by the South African flag drooping over the entrance.  The only food I associate with SA is Biltong.

Exactly.

Think we have already ascertained I use Hethertons every day, most of the market traders are not locals anyway, and world dehli has closed down. So the possibilities are pretty limited, From where I am sat, something for tea on a Saturday night from M&S would be a far more appealing option than Tesco, hence my post "yum".

I take it you are more of a Ready Meal person than a Delia then !

Fishers are. And excellent produce and service they provide.

Agreed.  A while back their produce was sometimes not quite up to scratch but I think the quality is now much better than that of the supermarkets.  If you haven't used them recently give them a try.
