Covid-19 Update
We are delighted to announce that we will be reopen in line with latest government guidance.
We have been working hard behind the scenes to introduce a number of new safety measures to protect our customers and staff. All off our staff have been fully inducted on the new guidelines for Covid-19 Health and Safety.
Each customer will be greeted at the entrance and they will be asked to sanitise their hands and given advice on the best way to navigate the store. We will also be managing numbers of customers in store to allow for safe social distancing while shopping.
All customers are asked to wear a face mask in store (unless exempt). Masks may be removed once seated in our restaurants and properly distanced.
If a basket or trolley is required, this will be pre sanitised on entry and sanitised by our staff after each use.
We have devised a new one-way flowing system around the store to ensure social distancing. Clear signage and floor markings have been put in place to further assist social distancing with a clear queuing procedure.
All till points have installed protective screens to protect our customers and staff and will only be taking card transactions at this point in time.
Please be kind to our colleagues and customers. We’ve never done this before. We hope you all understand these guidelines are essential in the current environment and you can be assured our friendly team will help you as much as possible.
We will be open 9.30am to 5.30pm Monday to Saturday and 10am to 4pm on Sunday.

Customer orders due in –Most of our suppliers are now back manufacturing. As such we are regularly liaising with them with updates on orders that have been delayed due to the Lockdown. We will endeavour to update customers on revised lead times as soon as we have information back into us.

Our warehouse facility is able to take deliveries safely should they be available.
Free Local deliveries & Delivery Protocols. We offer a contactless delivery to the room of your choice. We have done extensive research to ensure this service follows strict safety rules. For your peace of mind, our delivery teams observe strict social distancing. This includes working in fixed pairs within the same van. They also wear face masks, protective gloves and shoe coverings, use hand sanitiser before and after every delivery, and have their temperature taken in the mornings before starting work. The vans are thoroughly cleaned at the beginning of the day & the end of the day, with regular sanitised wipe downs inside the cab throughout their shift.
Our stocks will soon be promoted via Facebook and should any customers like to purchase and receive a free local delivery please direct message us through Facebook and we will reply as soon as possible to organise remote payment and delivery details. For further afield deliveries there will be a small delivery charge and we can also arrange a 3rd party carrier delivery through DPD (additional charges may apply).
