What a wonderful example of an independent village shop, it’s refreshing to see this and not a mainstream shop. Lots and lots of local produce, local products and fantastic overall selection, I think the prices were very reasonable as well. Staff were friendly, right in the middle of the village. Shall be coming here again when I am in the area to get some more local produce.
Great shop! It's been here forever,and has an eclectic mix of things to eat/buy. Sadly, they no longer make their own fudge, it used to be one of the best ever!!
Fabulous little shop selling all manner of items from usual grocery items to gifts snd locally produced goods. We bought so fabulous Wensleydale cheese and locally made chutney and had a lovely evening eating and drinking back at our holiday cottage.
