So much more than just a village shop

An illustration of the shop's distinctive window with flowers and the words 'Shop Local'

Shop local... and help to boost the economy

With your support we can sustain and enhance our much-loved village store and local businesses.

Shop local... and help protect the environment

You can help to reduce your carbon footprint by supporting us. We use local suppliers where we can. We recycle packaging (bring us your egg boxes and carrier bags!) and milk is sold in reusable glass bottles. Expand your mind by using our popular Book Exchange. 

Shop local... for a more personal experience

Customer service from your friendly team is second to none. The great thing about shopping locally is that it enables you to ask questions, and get the help, advice  and assistance you require.

Shop local... and be part of village life

No village is complete without a village shop. It's not just a place to buy things; a warm welcome awaits and you can drop by for a coffee and a chat. We rely on volunteers to help out too. Come on down and join in!
