Food Shopping on the Isle of Wight
|
 Maybe the best local shop on the Isle of Wight
 This shop is a paradise of locally obtainable food and supplies at good prices. The unassuming frontage hides a large shop complete with deli counter, ailes of fresh and packaged foods, a cafe and a well stocked off licence.
One has little or no need to travel all the way up to the supermarkets if you are staying around Chale as this shop competes on choice and runs rings around them when it comes to an enjoyable shopping experience. You can drive through Chale on your way to the beaches on the South East of the Isle of Wight if you want to pick up a picnic.
