The Milk Machine!…

In partnership with Meonstoke Dairy, we are proud to provide freshly pasteurised milk from a 24/7 vending machine, just outside the shop! Delivered within hours of the cows being milked, and arriving fresh each morning from the farm which is only two miles away, it would hard to think of a more perfect way to start your morning!
All you need is a bottle, which can be bought in the shop (while open) and reused each trip, and any of cash, card, phone or watch as payment.

‘Best milk I’ve had since I was a child’
‘Transformed my porridge!’
‘Makes the best cauliflower cheese ever!’
‘It’s so local, what’s not to love?’
‘Our visitors love it too, they wish they lived a bit nearer’

We also have milkshake syrups which you can add before you dispense the milk – becoming a bit of an after-school hit!

Food bank service!…

Following a recent suggestion by one of our customers, we are now offering a Foodbank donation service, whereby you can make a payment (or set up a regular donation) to a new foodbank account here at the shop. This sum will then go to making up boxes of food, which we will regularly credit to the account and take to the foodbank.

We’re going DOTTY !!

If you see something with a little BLUE DOT like this it means it has been Produced, Grown or Manufactured LOCALLY. So by buying one of these you are supporting TWO (if not THREE!) local businesses 🙂

Hampers!…

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

You can choose whether to buy a pre-made hamper ‘off-the-shelf,’ or let us make you a personalised hamper to suit the needs of your lucky recipient (there’s no shame in this being you!) You can tell us the specific items you would like, or give us a theme (eg. local, gluten-free, savoury, alcoholic!!) and we will put it together. Hampers cost the products we put in, plus £5-15 depending on the type of box and decoration material. If you are looking for some inspiration for what to put in your hamper(s,) check out
