Some shops are worth going out of your way for. Tucked away on North Parade, 2 North Parade Produce Store is one of them.

This independent neighbourhood grocer champions seasonal fruit and veg, artisan food, British farmhouse cheeses, fresh bread, local dairy and carefully sourced pantry staples. Everything on the shelves has been chosen with intention, with a strong focus on local producers, provenance and quality.

Whether you're putting together a dinner party, a picnic in University Parks, or simply looking to swap the supermarket for something with a little more character, this is the kind of place where shopping feels slower, friendlier and far more inspiring. Food lovers, home cooks and anyone who appreciates great ingredients will feel right at home.
