Eight years ago today, we opened !
A lot has changed in eight years (for one I can’t fit in that shirt anymore - that’s what eight years of running a beer shop does for!)
We couldn’t have done it without the support of the local customers & community.
It’s currently harder than ever to run an independent shop; pandemics, economic downturns, rising costs etc etc.
BUT we carry on fighting the good fight otherwise your local high street would be full of chains and dull mass produced products.
We are going to tweek a few things going forward; more natural wine, non-alcoholic options, maybe more home provisions all supporting other independent producers & real people.
It is only with your continued support that we can survive; if you are considering getting a bottle of wine from the local supermarket, pop in and try something for a few quid more that will taste infinitely better and will also be supporting real people & an independent business (or two).
Thank you to all the regulars who support us every week, all the suppliers, all my lovely staff over the years & of course my family for supporting me in this venture.
