Tastes is an independent, fine food retailer located on the historic high street in Eton, Berkshire.

We have a packed deli counter containing cheeses, cooked meats, pate, olives, pesto and much more, along with chilled and frozen items such as yoghurt, ice cream and milkshakes. We also have a daily supply of fresh bread and locally grown fruit and veg, along with many many jars and packets of fabulous things that line the walls.

We stock a wide range of locally produced items including cheeses from Wokingham and Bray; fresh bread from Newbury (made from Oxfordshire and Berkshire wheat); jams, marmalades and pickles made in Reading and Newbury; fudge from Bray; cereals roasted in Great Missenden; seasonal vegetables from Dorney; Hampshire fruit juices; and crisp breads, pickles and sauces from Kingston upon Thames.

We also stock a number of items that are suitable for those on a restrictive diet, but are good enough for all anyone to enjoy, such as a rich chocolate cake and zesty lemon shortbreads (that happen to be wheat free), Moorish Spanish biscuits (made as they always have been with Olive Oil not dairy), Pistachio Amaretti (packed full of nuts, but with no wheat or dairy products), fruit spread (made with fruit and grape juice not sugar), and a variety of crackers, crisp breads and breakfast cereals made from spelt and rye.

We’re always looking for more specialities to include. Therefore, if there is something you adore and cannot find, please let us know and we will do our best to help.
