BRIANTSPUDDLE VILLAGE SHOP – OUR
VILLAGE SHOP
Well at least the Sun has finally arrived.
With slow signs of restrictions easing, even Eloise is
having her 1 vaccination this week, it feels like we
st
might be on the verge of something “normal”.
For the village shop what might this mean?
The last 16 months we have become a hive of activity
in the centre of the village. Through the efforts of many
volunteers we have collected stock from Wareham to
Weymouth, Sainsbury’s to Williams, Bird seed to honey. We have provided
someone to talk to and somewhere to go.
For the last 16 months the title of my article has been “Briantspuddle Village Shop
– Not just for covid 19….”
And now maybe its time to change the title to “Briantspuddle Village Shop – Our
village shop”
The village shop can continue to provide the wide range of great value fresh fruit
and vegetables, meat and bread we are currently doing “if” we are able to sell
it. We are happy to take orders for regular requirements or one-off items. Fruit,
Veg and Meat arrive on Wednesday’s and Saturday’s. We have fresh bread on
Monday’s Wednesday’s Thursday’s and Saturday’s.
Remember the quote of last year “Its better than Waitrose and Cheaper than
Lidl” but we can only continue to supply the fresh produce at a great price if we
can continue to buy in large enough quantities
without lots of waste and so I encourage you to
remember we’re here before you nip to Tesco’s or
Co-Op. If you’ve not been in before you’ll be
amazed at what we’ve managed to squeeze in.
Newspapers and magazines do need to be ordered
in advance, but can be stopped for holidays/
weekends away. We’re happy to accept vouchers
for the papers.
We have a wide range of cards from local artists.
We’re open 9 till 12 Monday to Saturday and 10 till 12
on Sunday’s.
