Jamestown - Provisions & Laundry
Provisions:
Provisioning here can be expensive but you can buy most foods.
Some fresh vegetables are grown locally on the island including potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, leeks, and cabbage. The best local produce is available in the old market building – but you need to be there early! You may also find beetroot, onions, and garlic available but no salad. If there appear to be no eggs available ask at Solomons Supermarket, they can probably get some for you.
There are several supermarkets on Main Street with a reasonable selection of imported goods and good local meats. There are two bakeries.
Stores can be purchased from Thorpes Wholesale store on Market Street who offer discounts for case sizes and free delivery to the end of the wharf.
When ordering bread (both wholemeal and white available) in advance and ask to have it double-baked as it keeps better.
Musk’s and Benjamin Bakery have an outlet in the small grocery on the corner across the street from the local market.
The small fish and fresh produce market are open daily until 16:00 (13:00 on Saturdays).
All the alcohol on the island is imported from South Africa and, as a result, prices can be inflated by 300%.
Laundry:
There are two laundrettes, one located at Ladder Hill and the other in Jamestown. St. Helena Yacht Services also offer a laundry service.
