Runner Bean - Dublin Road, Ratoath

I have been getting a weekly fruit and veg delivery from Mark at the runner bean the last 18 months and I have to say that the consistent quality of the food, the range, the freshness are second to none- highly recommended

I love the Runner Bean, great quality food and personal friendly service. I just wish they had a sit down area so I could meet people there for lunch! Highly recommend takeaway yoghurt, coffee, fruit and amazing sandwiches.

A crude little shop that sits awkwardly between O'Briens Sandwich shop and Club Nassau. The staff are a little unwelcoming and I have seen the owner get into conflicts with customers. I bought fruit here on my lunch break one time and it was severely rotted.

This is what independent shops are all about . You will meet the owner (Mark) when you shop here and get his advice on anything you are buying and will immediately see why it's so important to support small locally owned independent shops. He always gives me a steer when picking my fruit which let's face it can be a minefield is there anything more disappointing then buying the perfect looking apple only to get back to your desk and bite into a floury tasteless apple ?? I know when I buy my fruit here I wont be disappointed. Mark also grows some of the veg in his own garden so you really can't get fresher then that ! In addition to the fresh fruit and veg they do salads, sandwiches, coffee and lots of grocery goods like cereal and biscuits. Don't pass by without popping your head in !

Hidden gem! Can find lots of popular health foods in the shop and the deli makes big and delicious sandwiches that are a bit different to the norm. Definitely worth a try for a takeaway sandwich.
