Budgens stores are run and owned by people who care about the quality, provenance and value of their food, and their communities’ needs.
As individual stores serving their own local communities, they are closer to local issues, and therefore able to recognise and cater services to their communities' needs.
At Budgens we believe that food tastes better when it’s fresh. In the Retail Industry Awards 2011 we were once again named fresh Produce Retailer of the year, thanks to our continued commitment to bringing you the best fresh food on the high street.
We stock only the highest quality fruit and vegetables that have been carefully selected at the right time so you get to enjoy them at their seasonal best. You are always guaranteed to find at least five £1 deals on fruit and vegetables in our aisles with a whole host of other delicious offers.

Founded by John Budgen in 1872, Budgens is believed to be one of the oldest supermarket brands in Great Britain. Initially a small, local grocer, the company has expanded and over time the Budgens name appeared on a number of stores throughout the South of England, establishing a reputation for servicing the local communities around England’s high streets and suburban towns with quality products.
In 2002, Budgens became part of the Musgrave Group and today Budgens has over 180 stores, varying from petrol forecourts to neighbourhood supermarkets, which are now independently owned by our Budgens retailers.
At Budgens we care about where your food comes from, that’s why we bring you a wide range of British food including fruit, vegetables and meat from some of the best British growers and farmers in the country. Our suppliers take great pride in providing us with great quality food which allows us to offer you the same.
