Caroline Davidson
"Enjoyed the crumpets enormously but have to agreed with Mary Harrison as I found the same problem when I shopped at the Moreton store."
Mary Harrison
"The crumpets were good, may buy some. However, I cannot see the point of printing off the other offer tokens as the same items are already discounted in the store. i.e. chicken breasts and the Echo Falls wine (which I would not normally buy) I did not realise no advantage as a Club member until at the check out. I do shop just at Bidford Budgeons weekly. & like the store."

"A wonderful creamy brie, fragrant and quite delicious, would definitely buy this again."
Angela McMahon
"I love Brie - particularly English and I found this to have a good texture and soft flavour. The rind was too thick for the size of the cheese.I like to eat the rind of soft cheeses but when I tried eating the rind of this cheese I found it very bitter - oh dear. Lovely to be able to source good local organic cheese - will buy again."
Beryl Abell

Rees Gidley

Jane Stevens
"I haven't had the Lasagne yet, but I did enjoy last month's pasta."
Richard Hession
"Very tasty indeed, most enjoyable as a meal for one, not enough for two.
A good standby for one of a couple, when the other one is a way.
A good substitute for the usual stuffed pasta that breaks open in boiling water or when trying to separate prior to putting in hot water. - more of a problem than you realize!
Great lasagne!
Thank you"
