Village Shop Update on Deliveries from Pop ( Sunday 29 March).
“We’ve got a Mobile card machine now so customers can pay on delivery or over the phone as well. Both payments are safe. Cheers”
Country Kitchen Update (Sunday 29 March)
“Thank you for your continued support while we all try and work through this pandemic. The system of serving customers from the door, taking orders via telephone and email (for you to pick-up, or local delivery for self-isolators) continues to be refined, and is going pretty well! Inevitably, this is a much more tiring way of operating than usual, and we’ve reduced our opening hours slightly again. New opening hours are 10 – 3 Monday to Friday and 9 – 3 on Saturday. This gives us extra time to have processed the morning deliveries, and make a head-start on deliveries before the doors open. Message from All Saints’ Church
Here is a message from All Saints’ Church re: the closure of the church building.
Haslingfield and Harlton Church and Village
There is no April Church and Village due to the Covid-19 outbreak.
Bedding Plant Sale Cancelled
We are sorry to announce that due to the current government advice the village plant sale has been CANCELLED. Cheques that have been posted through the door will be destroyed. We apologise for the inconvenience and hope we’ll be back with it next year.
Post Office News from Pop – 24 March
The post office is now only open for cash withdrawals, cash deposits (if necessary), bill payments, special deliveries or something very important.

Country Kitchen UPDATE – 24 March
Thank you to everyone for adhering to the new measures we put in place today to protect the CK ladies as well as customers. It’s tough for everyone, and a LOT of hard work to serve customers at the door. Bear with us while we refine our methods.
Opening Hours are now 9 – 3, to try and keep up with all the additional burdens the new working practices are placing on us. Rest assured, we’re doing everything we can to keep going during these difficult times. To recap: Read more

NHS staff will get priority as they are doing long shifts and shouldn’t have to wait and 10% discount for them. Thank you.
