text: Peckhams is the sort of shop where it is totally acceptable to buy a ua bottle of wine with your freshly made yet somewhat stale bread It is considered to be a highend supermarket sortof and sells itself as serving highquality and finefood Yes it does sell highend products as a student I was always in the readymeal section and there are no AsdaPrice bargains here but to be honest it is a rip off Yes the things they sell are selective and fancy but taste just as good as similar things you will get in the corner shop opposite The readymade meals are good but again are on a par with those you will find in Tesco a mere minute walk away from this Bruntsfield branch nMy exflatmate used to go down and buy cakes once a week as an indulgence but after the first few bites would find them too rich and donate to us thanks Rach They have an extensive alcohol section which is alluring but only to those who appreciate it aka not me nYes they have nice things and yes their cheeses and cakes look yummy but is it all really necessary It is not a bad shop far from it it is just a bit pretentious On those grounds therefore it has quite a large market in Edinburgh ha with all the yahs nThe only time I would frequent Peckhams would have been late at night it is open till midnight to buy my dinner as a student I am not the best in the kitchen Yes the staff are friendly and there is a nice atmosphere but there is something quite resentful about Peckhams which I cannot quite place The restaurant downstairs is nicebit dull but nice pleasant really To be totally honest I have been entirely unaffected by Peckhams which tells me it is not somewhere I will venture to in a hurry
