Practical Information

Shopping For Food

You can get all the basics in Charlotteville in the two small “supermarkets” and the various small shops and fruit stalls in the village.

Freshly baked bread – Ann Murphy in the house just down the track from White House bakes daily and bread can be ordered from her house or bought at her little white shop next to the carpark in the village near the supermarket.

Kosa at Jane's Quality Kitchen also has delicious home cooked bread

Fresh fruit and veggies can be bought in the village and from a pickup truck opposite the supermarket on Fridays from 3-5 pm

Lyda's Bar and also The Rum Shop near the petrol station sells beer and spirits.

Pennysavers in Canaan near the airport is the best for a big shop if you have a car and are going up to that part of the island. It’s cheaper than Charlotteville and has a wide range of imported food, wines etc.
