I've heard good reports already and will be visiting soon. Good luck, and well done on bringing to the town something we need.

Service and produce will be the decider!

Don't think of it as competition, but as an alternative. We're always banging on about needing small, independent shops, so let's support it; of course, your oranges will cost a little more, but what's a few pennies? I'll be popping in later to see what's up.

Totally agree in principal but as more than half of bedlington is either unemployed or in low payed employment those few pennies will make all the difference.

Very true Monsta, and I'm low income myself, but I'm willing to support a local venture if they can provide me with quality produce at a sensible - even if it's not discount - price. Furthermore, I often see local unemployed people - many of whom I know - in the queue with me at Moby's, Best Bite, the Red Lion, and of course, that's up to them. If they can afford five quid for fish and chips or a pizza, well, what's an extra quid on your fresh fruit?
