Brief description

Community-run shop with Post Office and delicatessen.

2022: "Sulgrave’s community shop is a “not for profit” venture, staffed largely by volunteers, with the aim of providing for both daily requirements and a range of special items more usually found in a delicatessen.  Wherever possible, locally produced items are favoured. The Post Office is housed within the shop and from Tuesdays to Fridays provides a range of services including banking and cash withdrawal facilities for customers of the Alliance and Leicester, Barclays, Co-operative Bank and Lloyds TSB. In addition, standard tariff postage stamps are available during the normal opening hours of the shop.

Sausage rolls, pasties, demi baguettes will be baked Monday to Friday. Croissants will be cooked Saturday and Sunday.

Approximately 1500 items are currently on the stock list and these include tinned, jarred and dried goods, household consumables and basic medical items, dairy, chilled and frozen products including an assortment of ready-meals, a delicatessen section, a wide variety of breads, cakes and biscuits, a carefully selected range of wines with individually labelled tasting notes, beers, ciders, spirits, a selection of soft drinks, fresh fruit and vegetables, stationery and greetings cards, newspapers and tobacco products. The shop is also an agent for a dry-cleaning company so clothes can be deposited and collected at the premises.

The Shop sells bread baked by a local bakery, purchases vegetables from a local supplier and sells bottled organic apple juice and cider vinegar made from apples grown in a local orchard. Village residents with fruit trees in their gardens are invited to offer the shop any surplus fruit such as cooking apples or plums. The Shop also stocks a range of specialist spice-mixes (harissa, tagine and lemon paste) produced commercially by one of the village residents.

The Shop has a coffee machine (which can also make tea, hot chocolate and soup). Reusable cups are available and a discount on a cup of coffee is offered for customers who use these or bring their own cups. A range of pastries is on offer and fresh sandwiches are available from the chiller. Sausage rolls and pasties are baked every day and, at weekends, freshly-baked croissants and pains-au-chocolat are on sale."
