This town has a great butcher - Holebrooks, Root & Vine greengrocer, Oxfords bakery, Post Office, dry-cleaners and also a mini department store, Harts.
There is only a small Co-op but that is why the high street is great. Olives et Al Deli is just outside town.

I have known this place for 20 years, a restaurant in an historic house, presided over by Barbara Bourke (head chef) - local ingredients, exceptional cooking and wine list - in a lovely old house. Sunday lunches are highly recommended.
