Family-run cash and carry which has pretty much everything you could think of! I’ve been buying from here for years, their butcher section is especially great - meat is always fresh, well-prepared and... See more
Ordered meat samosas from here. They were very tasty and my guests enjoyed them. The shop rang me to inform that the original brand I wanted wasn't available, so i could choose another brand. I found... See more
Ordering and delivery was fine but the actual product was poor. Ordered lamb and goat back chops and the long fatty bit was hacked off. Very little meat on the bone that was left

Great service
Great service. Quick delivery. Supportive customer staff. Always orders from them.
Worst place I ever bought from and I…
Worst place I ever bought from and I will never buy from them again. Bunch of dodgy idiots!!
I placed an order online with them, 2 days later no notification that the order was even being sent, suddenly it arrived 4 days later, the pomergrante I order has a little yellow sticker on it, which was scratched off and when I looked closely it was expired that's why they attempted to scratch off the expiry date. I ordered tamarind and when the parcel arrived there was none, a day later I got a notification that it was refunded, no email or nothing to say that they didn't have the item which is what I really wanted. First and last order from them that's for sure !!!

I made an order and chose next day delivery with extra charge. I received the order after 10 days
Great service and great meat
Great service and great meat. Iam very happy and would recommend for everyone to try.
Bad Delivery experience
Although i was unfortunate enough to have a bad experience with your courier service i must admit that you did your utmost to sort things out for me and eventually i received my goods.
I appreciate that this cost you more time and money but, you kept in touch to let me know what was happening of which i was grateful.
Kind regards

Ordering online
I was originally skeptical about ordering meat online but my friend recommended First Choice to me. It was fresh, well packaged and labelled accordingly to the different cuts of meat. Safe to say I'll be ordering again.
Fantastic Local Asian Store!
I have visited First Choice many times, and it has become my go-to for all my Asian grocery needs. What makes this store stand out is two things:
They have a massive variety of products from across Asia. The shelves are always well-stocked with both popular and hard-to-find ingredients.
The Fresh Meat Counter, this is the best part! The quality of the meat is always excellent, and the butchers are fantastic. They take the time to listen and cut everything precisely to my desire and needs, which I really appreciate.
On top of all that, the staff are consistently friendly, polite, and willing to help you find what you're looking for. It's a pleasure to shop here. Highly recommended!
