Spice Shop in Nuneaton?

[Wrinkley]

Hi

Can anybody give me directions from the canal to a local spice shop in Nuneaton. it is supposed to be near Bridge 20 but know nothing else. Looked around on google but can not find it. Probably a small corner shop.

 

Heres hoping someone can help.

When I last passed through, there was a stall in the Town Market selling spices (Wednesdays & Saturdays)

There is (or was last year) a Premier Foods small shop over bridge turn left. Full of Indian curry spice and sacks of rice good little find.

I was hoping someone would know where this was - I suspected it must be a small Asian owned corner shop or similar. I might have guessed the forum's resident curry sauce expert would have the answer!

I live in nuneaton, which one is bridge 20, the one next to the boot pub or further towards atherstone?

 

i cant think of any shop in nuneaton that only sells spices, there are several corner shops near the canal, could be one of those!

[cheshire~rose]

I know Nuneaton a little so was trying to research where this was

 

It must be by the boot pub. Bridge 20 is also known as "Boot Bridge" according to Google. The A444 bridge over the canal leaving Nuneaton centre just before the George Elliot Hospital I think

[Dave Payne]

Ahh that will be the one before the boot pub then if you are heading north on the canal

 

Yeah i don't think there is any shop in nuneaton that sells just spices, it must be an ethnic shop, more than likely a corner shop on Edward street.

 

There are two, one at the top next to paws vets and one right at the bottom joining queens road, both are premier shops, but the one at the bottom on the corner of queens road and Edward street do sell more food catered to the community.

 

Hope this helps the OP.

Thank you Dave,

 

It helps me - I have family who work in Nuneaton and enjoy cooking Asian foods so I suspect a visit might be on the cards

That's the one and yes Cheshire Rose they do a large variety of curry sauce packets, recommend the egg .There is an address in Delhi to write to with any comments or complaints haven't had a response yet..........

 

Freezer was full of imported fish and mutton /chicken not a fish finger in sight.

Funnily enough, i popped in there for some Bacon on a sunday morning as its round the corner from me...

 

No bacon!

Nothing wrong with a decent samosa for breakfast!

 

(although I prefer to buy mine still warm from the lad on the bicycle who honks his horn as he cycles around the tracks between the houses and hotels in Goa)

Found it! Very good spice and veg shop (loads of other stuff). Friendly staff who keep a well stocked, tidy and well lite stop. They must be competitive on prices as there is a Lidl opposite. We walked from Bridge 21 and it took less than 10 mins to get there. Thanks for all your help and we will visit next time we are in Nuneaton.

 

Dave - i did not see any bacon either, I didn't ask
