Decent grocers in Peckham or ED?

Recommended Posts

I'd like to buy more of my fruit and veg from independent shops, but I often find that the stuff I've bought from places on Rye Lane goes bad pretty quickly. Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced, decent quality grocers in the area?


Thanks

The Turkish (I think) place at the Goose Green end of Lordship Lane has fruit and veg outside.


I've always found the veg good quality.


Their name now is Organic Village Market and they have a thread on here saying they are just expanding the shop to include an organic butchers and a larger deli.

SMBS on Lordship Lane is very good.


The Grocer in Nunhead is excellent, cheap and lovely staff (I think it;s called Beaumont)


General Store on Bellenden Rd has incredible produce, but it's not exactly cheap, but check before you buy as sometimes t=the veg isn't as fresh as you'd like!


Franklins have good quality stuff, but again not always the cheaper end!

The OP did say "reasonably priced"!!


Both SMBS nor Franklins are quite expensive, though Franklins seems to have unusual fruit and veg you can't get elsewhere locally, so that's fair enough.



I'm sure the quality is high but you can still get good quality and pay less elsewhere.


M&S also has a fresh fruit and veg section. I haven't bought anything from it so I don't know what prices are like, but I have been pleasantly surprised at the prices in the rest of the store so that might be worth a look too?


ETA: Sorry, just realised you were after independent grocers/greengrocers, so forget M&S then! I

SMBS is very reasonably priced for fresh fruit and veg I think, but we can't make assumptions about what is reasonable for the OP.


Agreed that Franklins is a bit more expensive as I highlighted in my original post, but the OP also requested decent quality so it was worth mentioning.

May be a bit far away for you but the Turkish market next to the Rose on FHR has a decent selection of veg, not fancy but decent quality and reasonably priced. They often keep fresh herbs out the back of the shop by the meat counter (you have to ask for them) which are always in really good condition and you get a good sized bunch for your money.

Thanks for all the suggestions - much appreciated!


The grocers on Nunhead Lane and the Turkish deli on Lordship Lane are good shouts. I'll give them both a try


I really like SMBS and do go in there from time to time to pick up the odd thing that I cant get elsewhere, but personally I find it too expensive for day-to-day fruit and veg shopping.


Sometimes I've been able to pick up decent stuff on Rye Lane, but its just a bit unreliable. Khans opposite the station isnt bad but the selection can be limited.

    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
    • > however I know I will have to prove it and provide a receipt,  both I can't provide. So what leads you to say that the dustmen have done damage to it?
