With your support we can sustain and enhance our much-loved village store and local businesses.
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.
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.
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!
We're on Woods Lane in the heart of the village (just before the church as you go down from The Square, opposite the memorial gardens).
We carry a range of the best fruit and veg from Alberti's. In addition, you can place your order with us for collection here the next day. You can choose your own items or order a set-price mixed box.
All your grocery needs in one place, including a selection of fresh and frozen foods, household goods and toiletries.
Daily newspapers and periodicals.
Beers, wines and spirits.
Whether you're on the move and fancy a warming hot drink 'to go' or you want to take the weight off your feet, try one of our lovely freshly brewed 'bean to cup' coffees.
Meet up with friends for a chat and a catch up...
Or catch a moment of peace with a brew. Feel free to take a book from our book exchange shelf, relax and unwind...
