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 are here to serve you with a smile when you need us. NOW OPEN DURING LUNCHTIMES (MON-FRI).
