TFC Catford

When it comes to Fresh fruits and veggies TFC is one of my favourite places around Catford, quite popular for Eastern European and Mediterranean cuisine

CHECK BEST BEFORE DATES!!!!!

Was in the area for an event and decided to have a look, I purchased 2x orange juice and a Greek one you dilute on the 13th August.
Few days later I try both the juices and tasted a little weird, one was out of date by 3 months and the other by 3 weeks.
Extremely annoyed as its money wasted, as I'm live far away there is no point in returning!

Beware

Good for Turkish Cypriot food, bakery, deli as well as Turkish Cypriot produce.

However the car park is a bit unorganised and the store is so dated, its almost rustic.

Otherwise, its a decent store.

I have been shopping here for years. Initially I found the staff to be stand offish but I didn't let that put me off.

The cashiers seemed to prefer individuals that looked and talked like them.

Again I didn't take it personally, as my wife never had a problem.

There seems to have been a change in staff recently which seems to have made a difference.

What is avaliable in store is breath taking from meat and fresh bread, baked on site to general groceries, washing powder etc.

The share volume of goods many of the products you can't buy anywhere else is fantastic.

I recommend Catford Branch really highly for convenience and value for money.

If you get the opportunity give it a vist, it's an eye opener and I promise you, you won't be disappointed.

Lamb adana was lovely but the chicken and lamb shish disappointing.
Olives great selection and last a long time, great selection of cheese and veg.
Staff mostly friendly. Shop really needs updating, a spruce up and more organisation in the car park as its hard to see if you have to pay or not and a lot of my friends just drive past as not sure as I did for months before walking there.

Good selection of items and fresh fruit/veg. Great bakery selection for daily baked goods. The store could do with some TLC modernising but this is not a deterrent.

Sitting on these great products range TFCs could do better and offer different tastes,fresher veg and products and help global community inspire new products.
Unfortunately in the hand of TFC this great opportunity is let down.The shops are crying out loud for change in image,efficiency,management.But nothing is happening.The same,old dinosaur as it was 10 or 20 years ago.
On entrance,as with other TFC branches,you need to overcome parking meter hurdle.
This store only give you ½h free parking,then a parking ticket could be in the post for you without you realising it.
The entrance is not welcoming,you might think that the shop is closed.
The one way ailse is also not fun to walk through.
In other words,the image,design,the concept of the shop in dire need for a renovation.

As ever,staff is friendly but not communicative due to language barrier.
Good luck guys with your shopping.

Brilliant value for fresh herbs, pickles, olives, cheeses and cured sausage. Lactose free Ayran was a very lucky find too!
