COVID-19 pandemic:

We have been changing the protocol for the shop regularly as the rules change throughout the pandemic, but these currently stand as:

– Masks are required while in store. If you forget yours, we have disposable ones for 50p

–  Hand-sanitiser provided, please use the foot pump before entering

–  Boxing up orders for self-isolators, but now just collection (not delivery unless you really can’t get out!)

Hampers!

Stuck for gift ideas? Why not order a hamper from the shop?

As with every year, you can choose whether to buy a premade hamper ‘off-the-shelf,’ or let us make you a personalised hamper to suit the needs of your lucky recipient! You can tell us the specific items you would like, or give us a theme (eg. local, festive, gluten-free, savoury, alcoholic!!) and we will put it together for you. Hampers cost the products we put in, plus £5-15 depending on the type of box and decoration material. If you are looking for what to put in your hamper(s,) check out the Not to be Missed List and Produce Photo Library. Check out some examples of hampers here.
