IMPORTANT UPDATE! 17/2/2021:
We have still not received any deliveries from the UK, and our UK delivery is currently held at customs.
Furthermore, due to bad weather conditions in Ireland, our Irish order was not able to be loaded on the boat when it should of been, and will now be shipped on the next available boat.
As a result of this BOTH stores will now be closing tonight (17/2/21) at 7pm, and they will reopen next Friday (26/2/21) at 10am.
Having the stores closed until Friday will allow our staff to get any incoming stock out and the stores looking good ready for 10am on Friday.
We apologies for the inconvenience, and hope to see you in stores very soon!

1. GOOD NEWS our incoming delivery will be over 90% of what was originally ordered, including fresh Milk, Cheese, and Frozen Sausages
2. It is going to be a BIG delivery, we estimate 2 full sized articulated lorries

4. We will continue to bring the very best of British products, but we ask for your patience whilst we transition to the new normal, and the new normal looks bright!

Brexit impact v1.0 8/1/2021
1. GOOD NEWS deliveries from the UK will restart again from week commencing 18/1/2021, keep an eye out for future posts for further updates and delivery days.
2. These deliveries will include chilled, frozen and grocery items.
3. To start with, our range of products will be slightly reduced, but week by week our product range will continue to increase back to normal.
4. Whilst we become accustomed to the new customs regulations (pun intended), certain additional services that we offer will be temporarily stopped, these services include :
a. UK postal service
b. Magazine reserves
c. Argos orders
d. Girl Guiding orders
e. Bed orders
5. We will continue to bring the very best of British products, but we ask for your patience whilst we transition to the new normal, and the new normal looks bright!
We did anticipate these delays at the start of the year, so at the end of 2020 we received a huge delivery of ambient grocery products to allow for this, it was so big in fact we are still restocking the shelves with the end of 2020 delivery.
