Wholefoods Kensington now open!

http://lifeandhealth.guardian.co.uk/food/story/0,,2097241,00.html

I'm not sure why the Guardian is being so hypercritical about it & comparing the prices to Tesco?! Anyway has anyone been to the Kensington one yet?

Well of course Wholefoods will be more expensive, HELLO!!!!

I like this:

Four hundred different cheeses - consumer choice the American way.

Under the picture of the cheese.  I tell you I think I might set that picture to my screen saver

I know, what's wrong with 400 different cheeses anyway? Perhaps they are worried it's competition for Paxton & Whitfield?

those lucky, lucky buggers

LOL!  I'm only 43 miles, HMMMMMMM 

Do they offer home delivery from Kensington?  

LOL!  I'm only 43 miles, HMMMMMMM 

At 43 miles, I'd be there once a week!

I'm working that out now

Do they offer home delivery from Kensington? 

Actually the article does mention they do home delivery but I'm guessing it's just in the local area.

how long before you're taking orders from the locationally challenged among us?

Hmm, homebased business!  I think I can get the husband to agree with this!

Just to make you all jealous....I went last night after work!

 

It was great.  I was super impressed with the cheese and if I wasn't leaving on hols in a day, I would have bought loads.  but I don't want to waste all that yummy cheese.

I have to say the prices were not that bad (I shop at Waitrose normally - so maybe view is a little skewed).  I bought three big containers of seeds (pumpkin, sunflower and pine nut) to make a little mixture I bought the other day.  They were each £1.64.  The individual serving I bought the other day....£1.99.  So I think I got a good deal.  

I also bought these two-bite brownies that are GORGEOUS!!!  

There is a whole food court upstairs.  And the nicest loos in all of Kensington, well the ones open to the public that is.  Definitely worth the trip.  All the freebies were delicious!

Thanks.

Actually, I'm not so jealous about the cheese - we do pretty well in that department out here in the boonies. Maybe not 400 varieties, but a couple of hundred anyway. Still, there's so much else to be jealous of.
