As you might remember from one of my previous reviews, I have a bit of a thing for Tunnock’s Teacake signs. Unfortunately, this newsagent doesn’t have one that lights up or have a picture of a teacake on it. But, fear not, if does have some Tunnock’s advertising on it’s small plastic and rather retro (for this read old fashioned) canopy.
This alone makes it worth about one star in my book. Meanwhile, the other stars are for: service, prices and character. You see, this is not a massive shop by any manner or means. Therefore, it does have something of a limited range of stock in store.
This means that beyond your basic teabags, paper and pint of milk you won’t find anything too exciting. However, it certainly does the job and sometimes it’s nice to have a little morning walk for these bits and bobs. You know, fresh air and spring sunshine and all that.
The prices for the above basic supplies though are decent and the staff are very pleasant. These small aspects of the shop really add to it and make it worth going slightly out of your way for.
Last of all, and one of the most attractive elements, is the character rolled into this place. It looks a little run down but it still has a cheery vibe to it. And, cheery really is the word for it. Nothing else will do. If in doubt, check it out.
