What we do, in detail

Four things: groceries, food to go, age-restricted products and everyday services.

Program 01 · The sizes people need

Everyday groceries

A convenience store earns its name by stocking the thing you ran out of, in the size you need tonight, not a multipack. We would rather carry fewer lines and have the basics in than fill shelves with slow stock, and if we do not have something we will order it.

  • Open daily
  • Everyone
  • Per item
  • Nothing to prepare

Stage 1 · Basics first

Bread, milk and the everyday things.

Stage 2 · Useful sizes

Singles, not only multipacks.

Stage 3 · Ask us

We will order things in.

Stage 4 · Honest stock

Told when we cannot get it.

Stage 1 · Labelled

Name and full ingredients listed.

Stage 2 · Allergens

Emphasised, as required.

Stage 3 · Ask us

For anything a label cannot cover.

Stage 4 · Dates

Rotated, and reduced before expiry.

Program 02 · Allergens listed

Chilled, frozen & food to go

Anything prepacked for direct sale here carries a full ingredient list with allergens emphasised, as the law requires. If an allergy is serious, ask us at the counter rather than relying on a label alone, because we can tell you what is handled nearby.

  • Per item
  • Ask about allergens

Program 03 · Challenge 25, no exceptions

Age-restricted products

We ask anyone who looks under 25 for photographic ID, and we refuse without it. We also refuse proxy sales — buying alcohol for someone under 18 is a criminal offence for the adult doing it, and the till is not the place to argue about that. Refusals are logged.

  • Licensed hours
  • Over 18s
  • Per item
  • Photographic ID

Program 04 · The errands in one stop

Everyday services

The services that save a trip into town: paying a bill, topping up a meter or a phone, dropping off a return or collecting a parcel. Opening hours matter more than anything for these, which is why we are open seven days.

  • Everyone
  • Per transaction
  • Relevant reference

Ask at the counter. If a supplier carries it, we will order it in.
