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.

      4+ Assessment Advice for Parents

      By Lord Pencilton · Posted

      It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️

      GALA 2026

      By kiera · Posted

      Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.

      So dangerous!    Can you be more specific about the road this was in and when you report it?  Maybe there’s some CCTV footage available
