Fresh fruit and veg trial at Hillingdon
Anyone with a fondness for fresh fruit and veg can get their ‘five-a-day’ more easily, thanks to a new shop on trial at Hillingdon Hospital.
The wooden cabin next to the main entrance will be bursting with bananas and broccoli, packed with peppers and stuffed full of strawberries – when in season. You can even buy honey, pickles, chutneys and gift baskets.
Five-A-Day Greengrocers will set up shop for staff and the public every Monday and Tuesday until the end of January, trading from about 7.30am. The company has partnered with numerous NHS Trusts since 2019 and the our Estates and Facilities Team, who organised the experiment, will monitor take-up as the trial progresses.
