Grocery and shopping information

For grocery and other shopping, here are a few good options relative to your accommodation at the University Village:

Closest: The Co-op at Fiveways. There is also a Tesco Metro here, but I think the Co-op may be a little bigger and better. Almost equally close is the on-campus grocery store called ShopSU.
A little further away, but bigger and better: The Co-op at the junction of Earlham and Recreation Roads. Not too far to walk and also directly on the number 26 bus line.
Biggest but furthest: The Morrisons in the Riverside Retail Park, right at the end of the number 25 bus line. Takes a while to get there but the bus drops you right outside a big store that has everything, a bit like Walmart.
Cheapest: The discount grocery store ALDI is a good option for low-cost groceries. It's a 20 minute walk from the Village and not easily accessible by bus from the Village.
Of course there are many excellent stores in the city center, which you can reach on the number 25 or number 26 bus lines. The best-known department stores are: Jarrolds (an independent Norwich store), Debenhams (probably the cheapest), Marks and Spencer, John Lewis (a little more upscale but still good value).
