Welcome to Food For Thought by Abraxas

Food for Thought is your go to spot at Heart of the Shires Shopping Village for gourmet ingredients, local treats, and foodie favourites. From artisan pastas to award winning chutneys, every shelf is packed with flavour and inspiration.

A Shop Full of Flavour

Step inside Food for Thought and you’ll quickly see it’s not your average deli. This is a place where quality comes first where every jar, bottle, and box has been chosen for its flavour, story, and the joy it brings to the table. Whether you’re building a hamper, planning a picky tea, or just looking to spice up supper, you’ll find something here that tempts your tastebuds.

”"We choose every product because it tastes great, tells a story, or makes a meal feel special."
