Stockists of NISA, CO-OP & Local suppliers.

Our shop might be small but we’re fully stocked with general groceries and we offer something for everyone.

Well known for our cake counter and local suppliers, what is also important to us is that we have a great variety of every day groceries at good prices.

The majority of our groceries come from NISA which means we can stock major brand names together with CO-OP products too.

We have over a thousand different lines in the shop and we are always up for a challenge to find new products for people and welcome suggestions.

  • Miniml

    A new addition we are very excited about. Founded by a young couple in Yorkshire, Emma and Scott have set out to change the way people consume cleaning products and think about their waste. It’s a closed-loop system which means that every bottle/large container is in a loop and gets collected, washed, and reused by Miniml. The ingredients are chosen specifically so that they have minimal impact on the environment. Everything is vegan, cruelty-free, and paraben-free. There’s a section on their website which lists all of their ingredients, what their function is, where it comes from and why it needs to be an ingredient. We stock a dozen of their products including personal healthcare and cleaning products. The way it works is that you buy the everyday sized product from the shelf and then once it’s empty you come back with the empty bottle and refill it from the 20 litre container on the shelf. The bottles and labels are built to last so you should be able to use them for years to come. We’ve worked out that if 10% of our regular customers bought one of each of the products per month, each person would save 3 tonnes of carbon per year. The UK average is 13 tonnes of carbon per person per year, so this is a significant saving!.

  • Museums & Galleries

    Another of our card suppliers who use images from some of the biggest and most well-known museums and galleries in the UK. They also work with contemporary independent artists and emerging creative talent to source beautiful imagery for their ranges. £2.40 per card.
