Can not believe it 9 pounds for 2 packs of grapes ??????? I wish I was joking !!!!! Can get them cheaper at Sainsbury’s and that’s saying something with inflation at the moment . What a joke !!!!!
Shop of my choice any day. Good range of products. Excellent service every time you enter. Staff are friendly and helpful.
So pleased to see see Preens has stood the test of time and is still trading. I used to go in Preens in the early 1970's the days when it was just York Street before it was split by Marsh way into upper and lower York Street.
Great shop, friendly staff. Just be careful of the area outside
Since the re-fit there is more choice of products and staff are helpful and polite, all in all a pleasant little corner shop.
