Our in-store bakery is now open! We're now producing our own baguettes, petit pain, crossiants (plain and almond) and pain au chocolat each morning.
There's a wide range of potential breads and pastries, so let us know if you think there's something else we should be baking!
Free Home Delivery
We're still offering FREE home delivery (within 5 miles)! There's only a £5 minumum order, so to place an order, either call us on 07789 828423 or click here to place an order directly on the website.
If you're happy to come in to the shop but don't want to miss out on your favourite/regular items, you can still place an order but come in to collect when you're ready!
Increased range of Fruit & Veg
We've invested in a brand new, purpose-built, outdoor display unit for our Fruit & Veg, which means we can stock a greater range of varieties, and more of each variety! We'll be restocking throughout the week, but if you want to be sure of getting your favourites then why not place a weekly order with us? We'll even deliver it to your door for free (within 5miles radius). Just call 07789 828423 for more details.

CVS own-label sweets and fudge cakes

Social Distancing
While the Government have said social distancing can be reduced to one metre, we have decided to continue to observe the 2 metres rule for practical reasons and because there is no pressing need to relax this at the current moment. This also means we will continue to allow only 2 customers in the shop at any one time. As with all retail premises, customers will also need to wear a mask while in the shop.
Thank you for your understanding, support and for continuing to observe the 2 metres separation and for ensuring everyone visiting or working in the shop does the same.
Your safety is our most important consideration.
Locally-Roasted Coffee
Have you caught the aroma of our new locally-sourced, freshly-roasted coffee? We think it's incredible but don't take our word for it; give the bag a gentle squeeze to find out for yourself!

Looking for a light lunch?
Look no further - we've got a tasty range of cheeses, pâtés, dips and sides together with a wide range of crackers including sourdough, crispbreads and oatcakes.

Focus on Local – “Freeze” by Sally Fell
Sally is one of regular volunteers in the shop, but since November she has also been providing us with a delicious range of frozen dishes. Each one is prepared by Sally in her kitchen in Hollowell, using locally sourced ingredients with no added preservatives.
She’s far more than just a handy cook though… In the 1980’s she was Head Chef at Althorp House, and followed that by being appointed Head Chef at Northampton Saints RFC. In 1994 Sally and her husband Jerry launched the Austin-Fell partnership, an outside catering business that is still going strong today.
We stock a variety of Sally’s dishes, including
* Cottage Pie * Steak & Kidney Pie * Moroccan Lamb * Vegetable Wellington * Chicken & asparagus pie * Lasagne * Vegetable Lasagne * Pork & Cider pie * Bouef Bourguignon with cheesy mash * Lancashire Hot Pot * Coq au Vin
Sally is very happy to receive feedback, so do let us know if you have any comments or suggestions for other dishes!
Gluten-Free
We've increased our range of gluten-free products (including Dove's Gluten Free flour!), in response to requests from our customers. Here's a selection below, but let us know if you think there's anything else we should stock!
Focus on Local - Joseph Morris Butchers
The business was established between the two world wars by Joseph Morris, the present proprietor’s father, in 1930 and is now in its third generation.
Animal welfare is a priority for Joseph Morris. All livestock is sourced from local farms, a practice that not only supports the local farming community but also ensures uniformity of quality. Travelling distances being short, stress for the animals is minimised.
Awareness of customer requirements sees Joseph Morris continually upgrading the service that they provide. Most recently they have opened a kitchen where they make their own pork pies, sausage rolls, patés & haslet. These new lines complement their established range of home-cooked hams, roast pork.
Focus on Local - Punjaban Curry Sauces
Punjaban is a family-run business based in Moulton Park, Northampton. Owner Charanjit Sapal (known as Charlie) is extremely passionate about getting the sauces right; she bases them on the traditional recipes she uses at home, and the sauces are free from all artificial ingredients and are gluten free.
