Happy Customers

Nicole Hawes

So was trying to find the ingredients for this lovely spice blend I had had once upon a time, went to all the supermarkets and asked the staff if they had the spices and they told me no and recommended the wrong ingredients instead. 

A lovely lady asked what I was looking for, and then recommended the Herb and Spice Emporium in The Eagle Market!

So I wandered over and showed the lovely guy (sorry, I didn’t catch your name!) at the stand the list of spices and he said he had them all - I was so pleased! 

So he made up the blend for me and popped it in a gorgeous little tin and it was so much cheaper than I thought for the amount that I got!

Very happy lady! Thank you so much! Will return for my spices in the future!
