Village Shop

Managers: Sarah and Mark
Phone: 01643 841582

The benefits of having a shop in our community are numerous and important. The village shop acts as an informal social centre; it’s a place to meet neighbours and to catch up on village news and issues. The Village Shop is often the only social meeting point for some residents, and for many elderly people this can be the only opportunity to meet up with other residents of the village.

It is also a place to advertise jobs, items for sale and wanted, read about local events and to buy event tickets. It can be a drop-off and collection point for parcels.  It is an important information point for delivery drivers, visitors, health workers and house hunters, as well as a safe place for children to learn how to shop.

The shop offers a Post Office service, together with an enormous range of goods and services, such as an off-licence section, fresh bread and pastries, chilled and frozen products, general groceries, newspapers, magazines and stationery, exclusive cakes from Dulverton, fresh ham, sausages and bacon from Kendle Farm, Dulverton. Local produce is also stocked, including a tasty selection of Devon Hawkridge cheese, freshly baked cakes and tray bakes from Jen’s Pantry (based in Williton), local Styles ice cream and Croft and Cottage quality frozen ready meals created at a small local business in Dulverton.

Our Village Shop is a tremendous facility for such a small village!

OPENING HOURS

Shop opening hours are :-
Monday to Friday 8.00am – 1.00pm
Saturday 9.00am – 1.00pm
Sunday 8.00am – 10.30am

Our official Post Office hours according to our contract are:-
Monday to Friday 9.00am – 12.45pm

We may, in the future, negotiate a slot to open the Post Office on Saturdays for a couple of hours, but for now it is definitely closed on Saturdays and Sundays, so if everyone could please be sure to send post and do cash withdrawals, etc. earlier in the week, we would be most grateful.

Skye’s Bar will be open from 5.00pm – 9.00pm on Fridays, and we may look to open on Saturdays through the summer, depending on demand and our energy levels! 

Once again, thank you to everyone for your continued support and patience whilst we get the hang of the business.
