CRITICAL INFORMATION


There are unscrupulous people who will try to take advantage of this crisis.  Do not give money for shopping to anyone you do not know;  do not buy hard to obtain items from websites you do not recognise; be very suspicious of people claiming to be healthcare workers who call univited; be wary of rogue traders trying to trip the unwary into agreeing to pay for unwanted "improvements", and watch out for "neighbours" you have never met or seen before offering help.   If in doubt say "No".


If you think you may be infected do NOT go to the doctors or to the pharmacy or to the local hospital.  Dial 111 and the staff who answer will ask you a few questions to try to determine your status. 


There is a wealth of further guidance and information available from the links at the bottom of this page

Bread

Amanda Simpson-Atkins if offering to deliver bread on Thursdays or Saturdays.  This is artisan bread baked in Hopesay.   Note also the following from Amanda:


"Some of the items such as the slow yeasted breads are made some weeks but not every week, but we can always put a desired dough in the book to be made the following week.   Vegan pasties vary week to week, so please ask what is being made this week.  Cakes also tend to vary week to week, so please ask to find out the cakes being made this week.

Please get your order to us by Wednesday for delivery in other localities on Saturday

 

Payment

We encourage bank transfer (BACS) to be safe but will accept cheques or cash in an envelope. 

 

Delivery charge & details

We are not adding any charges to our usual market prices for delivery at present. If this needs to change we will let you know.   We can agree a convenient time and place to meet you safely, or we can deliver to your home and leave your order in a safe place."
