An absolute gem of a shop with so many wonderful goodies.

I get all my dried fruit, nuts, baking ingredients and herbs from here, they all taste and smell so much nicer than the supermarket and it works out cheaper.

he staff are also always happy to help fill my jars. On the odd occasion I've been in a rush and they've been happy for me to drop off a bag full of jars and containers, and fill them all ready for me to collect a few hours later.

Claire orders in 5ltr minimal hair, bath and cleaning products and 16kg bags of flour specifically for me at no extra cost which is way easier than having to find and order online myself and be home for delivery.

The local honey is delicious and a must try.

My mum is allergic to dairy so we like to pick up some of the vegan treats for her every now and then which are always appreciated.

And there are so many lovely gifts ideas, it's crazy how many goodies they have squeezed into this small shop. I'm always picking up extra bits!

The cafe is a brilliant addition especially on a sunny day when we can sit in the garden amongst all the flowers, although It's also quite cosy inside on a miserable day. I either reward the kids for helping or distract them from causing chaos with some beans on toast, cake or ice cream, they absolutely love this treat and often ask to visit the shop as made to feel so welcome.

We usually manage to find a parking spot outside the door, but it's only a short walk from Lidl car park.

The sourdough bread from Toast bakery is absolutely delicious and I can definitely recommend the biscoff slices from the Green Kitchen.
Claire and her staff are very friendly and helpful. Bee Kind is definitely worth a visit.
