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.
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.

Cambridge City Foodbank: A Different Way to Help
It is extremely important to remember everyone who uses the Foodbank. In 2019, 9,243 three-day emergency food supplies were given to people in crises, and the need continues. We have seen so many pictures of people stockpiling, but for others it is a case of hoping to be able to feed their families. The Foodbank is always grateful for your support, but maybe you could think of doing it in a different way – by donating money! This way, urgently needed goods can be bought.
There are 2 ways of helping: Donate with Virgin Money Giving (the charity’s preferred option) where 100% of your donation goes to the charity. To donate, please click here. OR set up a standing order here. Both of these options can be cancelled at any time. Read more
NEW Message from Pop at the Village Shop
Update on deliveries: We have the system in place now so anyone who needs delivery can create an account with us by paying in advance i.e. £100 (cash). Then whatever your total shopping bill will be deducted from your account. (Best way to keep everyone safe). All the receipts will be provided with each delivery so you can keep record as well. If this doesn’t suit you and you have a better idea we can discuss that. Read more
