A gem of an artisan bakery just a 5 minute walk away. Everything is baked fresh. Their Chewy Brown sourdough and multi-cereal loaves are divine. And don't get me started on their tarts and 'bites' (a small spongy delight). They also do delicious, homemade lunch options and you can sit in at the large country kitchen table or take away.

We're lucky to have an award-winning butcher right on our doorstep who knows the provenance of all his meat and is happy to share recipes to help you if you're feeling like being a little more adventurous with your selection.
They also have a cheese shop just to the left which is open Thurs-Sat only. Great little place.

A little further on from the Coop is Ricci's, a local independent grocer's that selects a host of fresh, free-range and organic produce. No plastic bags here, so be sure to take a shopping bag with you.
Another one a little closer to the property is Seeds 'n' Sprouts, run by an old school friend of mine. Be sure to pop in and say hello to Paul!

This is the 3rd location for a local brand, Cafe Rust. Situated in what was for many years an antique shop, a lot of what you see is for sale! They have a small but perfectly formed brunch menu and have regular specials, as well as a good selection of cakes that sell out fast!

As its name implies, they ONLY serve gin....hundreds of them! You're better to book a table in advance as it's always busy. Love the telephones on the tables that you use to place your order at the bar and allows you to contact other tables should you wish! And you just need to jump on the No. 1 or 1a to take you nearly door-to-door.
