Bonner's

Bonner's has been the Covered Market's greengrocer since 1952, making it one of the longest-standing traders in the building. The stall sells seasonal fruit and vegetables sourced primarily from local farms in Oxfordshire and the surrounding counties, with the range changing through the year as produce comes in and out of season.

This is the kind of greengrocer where the stallholder knows what's good this week and will tell you without being asked. The quality difference between Bonner's produce and a supermarket's is noticeable — particularly with soft fruits in summer and root vegetables in winter. Prices are competitive with supermarkets and often better, especially for seasonal items bought at their peak. A staple of the market and a reason locals still shop here rather than defaulting to the big chains.
