I never tire of shopping for groceries in Fields. The range of local fresh produce is superb. Wines galore, a huge array of fresh fruit and veg, their own bakery, a large isle dedicated to health foods and a cheese section to die for make this a shop a must for all of your essentials and tasty treats too!
