About us

Crumbs is a fresh local produce store located in Washington Village, West Sussex.

Crumbs is one of those good old fashioned fresh food establishments where men wear aprons, the words "Please", "Thank you" and "Certainly Madam" are not obscene profanities and, wherever possible, gargantuan tanker loads of fossil fuel are not consumed in bringing produce into the store.

When it comes down to it, Crumbs sells two basic categories of food stuffs:-

• fresh things that grow in or out of the ground; and
• fresh things that don‘t

In the first category, we would list all the usual suspects from the award winning purple sprouting and ever elegant broccoli to the ugliest of the ugliest, the celeriac, together with bundles of beetroot, armfuls of asparagus, lettuces, cucumbers, tomatoes, apples and peppers all grown on farms a mere porcupine‘s quill from the shop. We also sell a staggering selection of things squeezed, boiled, squashed, simmered, baked, dried or otherwise extracted in a humane fashion from these nice plants, such as jams, breads, chutneys, sauces, biscuits, nuts, seeds, juices, chocolates and breads.

Our second category, on the other hand, includes quite an eye bulging array of cheeses sourced from within 40 miles (and beyond), smoked salmon from Springs of Faulking, milk, cream and other dairy products gently extruded from Jersey cows resident in Bury and pies from the prince and princess of pie makers, Higgidy Pies.

However, if you don‘t believe us, why don‘t you come in and see for yourself.

We stock cheese from Sussex, Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire and from all over the UK and Europe and you can now buy from us online.
