Food Shops, Farmers’ Markets
The South West produces some of the best food in the
country. Enjoy local food, support local producers, reduce
food miles!
We love The Real Food Store next to Exeter Central Station –
champions of local, organic, and ethical food: bread; fresh
produce; eggs and dairy; vegetables; meat and fish; ethical
larder products and household goods. Make sure you also visit
their excellent cafe in Exeter Central Library.
We also love Country Cheeses in Topsham; Exe Valley Farm
Shop (nr Thorverton, Exeter); Kenniford Farm Shop (opposite
Westpoint, Clyst St Mary), and obviously Darts Farm in
Topsham!
For wines, spirits and beers, we would be amazed if you can beat
the service and selections at Smith’s Wines on Magdalen Road.
Remember to also support the Exeter Brewery wherever you see
their beers stocked – we’re particularly partial to Avocet Ale – not
just tasty but also organic.
We’ve heard amazing things about The Ginger Cat Deli in
Exminster, we love the Tibetan Street Food stall on the High
Street. We love The Dinosaur Cafe on New North Rd and
Tyepyedong noodle bar on Sidwell Street.
