The Raw Chocolate Company
The clue is in the name here with this Horsham-based company producing sun-dried, raw chocolate. All their products are vegan and all their cocoa is Fairtrade, resulting in a great deal for the Peruvian farmers. Try their dairy-free Salted Vanoffee Hazelnut (£2.49 per bar) and their Raw Chocolate Almonds (£1.49 per snack pack).

Infinity Foods
This Brighton institution started as a small shop back in 1971 and is packed with vegetarian products, fresh bread and seasonal fruit and veg. In winter you can expect Brussels sprouts, squash, spinach and swede. Head to the kitchen and enjoy some organic Kemptown Redroaster coffee alongside a fresh sandwich and vegan cake.
hiSbe
Based in Brighton’s York Place is hiSbe, a shop claiming to change the way supermarkets do business. Expect your usual supermarket produce, the difference being that they source locally, seasonally and ethically. Their bread, for example, is 100 per cent traceable, baked in small batches and delivered fresh every day.
