A true ‘hub’ for the community, run by the community

An award-winning independent shop and café (not to blow our own trumpet but we won ‘Best rural shop in Britain’ in 2019 and have many other awards).

We look forward to welcoming you.

Our MP, Olivia Bailey, with Trish and Ani.

  • There is parking on site, both as you enter the courtyard on your right, and at the rear of the shop. Parking is limited though, so please park thoughtfully. If all spaces are taken, you can park on the road.

Freshly made food, served just the way you like it!

Enjoy delicious homemade hot and cold dishes, barista coffee, and more. Gluten-free options are available, and we'll do our best to accommodate other dietary needs.

Eat inside or outside, enjoying the countryside, or take away, your choice.

  • Hot food from the kitchen is available 8:30am to 2pm, Mondays to Saturdays.

    A reduced menu is available on Sundays from 9am to 11:30am.
