Description: H. Gunton is a family business established at 81 Crouch Street in 1936 by the late Herbert Gunton. Along with his son Geoffrey they built up a reputation for selling high quality and unusual foods with personal service and advice for their clientele.

Known locally as the 'House for Coffee', the aroma of their coffee roasting in the shop window can be smelt far away, beckoning the curious to try one of their 9 pure coffees or 4 blends - all of which are roasted on the premises

The business also has a large cheese counter with about 50 British farmhouse cheeses and at least as many continental; a delicatessen section, stocking fresh meats and pies along with pates and salads; and a wide range of quality fare. Over the years they have built up a hamper business that increases in popularity annually.
