Inglewood Dairy is a dairy at 64 Matai Street in Inglewood, in the New Plymouth district of Taranaki. It has a 4.1 Google rating from 258 reviews.
In New Zealand, a dairy is a corner shop selling everyday essentials such as milk, bread, snacks, drinks, ice cream, newspapers and often hot chips or fish and chips, and is traditionally open long hours. A good dairy is a neighbourhood fixture, with staff who know their regulars, and it is a handy place to pick up basics when the supermarket is closed or a long way off. Prices are usually higher than at a supermarket, so it suits top-up shopping rather than the weekly shop. Check opening hours if you are coming at an odd time, ask whether the dairy takes cards and look at best-before dates on chilled goods. Regulars know which items to rely on and pop in for the paper or a treat on the way home.
Inglewood is a small town on the road between New Plymouth and Stratford, so this dairy suits locals and travellers wanting a quick stop.
