It's looking especially colourful in the shop since our Christmas candle order arrived. Hand dipped in Cumbria, we have been working with Moorlands Candles for many, many years.

Also available standard and stubby beeswax pairsūüéĄūüėćūüēĮÔłŹūüźä #shoplocal #smallbusiness #loyalsuppliers #loyalcustomers #christmascandles #candles #beeswax #beeswaxcandles

We love Alligator! Supermarkets simply cannot match the diversity of organic / unsprayed, often local fresh produce, nor the range of other wholefoods such as nuts, seeds, seaweed, oils, pulses, and nut butters to name just a few. We do our main shop here and the service is personal; we're known by name by friendly staff who know about what they're selling. It's all so very much appreciated!

Trustworthy. Pop by for consistently great produce from local folk.

So enjoyed using the scoops and buying things in paper bags not plastic.

Lovely old shop with lovely... staff! :) This shop has been providing reliable and trustworthy groceries for many many years and they go out of their way to help you. Now with the added bonus of a cheese counter, passed on from York beer and wine shop, an even bigger range of treats. Crunchy noodles are my fave

Fab fab fab. Wish you were nearer. Ecstatic that you do home delivery. Very helpful friendly staff. Even ordered in the bits they didn't have that I wanted! Super find.

Alligator provides food you would struggle to find elsewhere in a single store and has great friendly and interesting staff, who are a delight to chat and joke with.

Alligator offers all the best stuff in one small shop, and a unique and wonderful yesteryear customer experience!

Alligator Wholefoods makes grocery shopping a really enjoyable and wholesome experience- they stock really good and ethically produced stuff so you can feel good about where you spend your money. And despite being a small local shop they always seem to have everything you need. Plus they do delivery in the evenings if you email or call them, which is great if you work long hours ! They are really kind people too. I always love to shop here, I wish all shops were like Alligator whole foods! Thank you!
