Shops

We love local shops. They add to the diversity of Surrey’s towns and it’s been proven that spending money at independent shops gives a real boost to your local economy. Indeed, a study by the New Economics Foundation in London found that for every £10 spent at a local food business, £25 is generated for the local economy, compared with £14 for each tenner spent at multinationals. Consider it. The farmer buys a sandwich at the local deli; the deli owner buys tomatoes from the local greengrocer; the greengrocer gets his shoes heeled at the local cobblers; the cobbler buys a pie from the local bakery; the baker buys meat for his pies from the local farmer. So go on, use Local Food Surrey to search for your nearest butcher, baker, grocer, deli – and more!
