As we move from lockdown into Tier 2 Covid restrictions, there will be some changes to the operations at Hambledon Village Shop & Post Office.

From Wednesday 2nd December 2020:

1. The shop will be open 7 days a week from 8:30am to 2:00pm.
2. The Post Office will operate 6 days a week, Monday to Saturday, 9:30am to 12:30pm.
3. We will continue to offer a free delivery service 5 days a week, Monday to Friday with a cut-off of 10am for same-day deliveries. The shop’s product list and more information on how the delivery service operates can be found by clicking here.
4. We will offer a Personal Shopper service to walk-up customers 7 days a week, 8:30am to 2:00pm. We will pick and bag your shopping list while you wait and take payment by card outside. Cutomers are not currently allowed inside the shop.
5. Customers are now able to order food and drink for take away or to eat at the shop’s picnic tables 7 days a week from 8:30am with last orders at 1:30pm.
6. All payments should continue to be made by card, the shop is not currently accepting cash payments.

The Shop operating hours are about to become a bit simpler.

From Monday 20 July the Shop will be open 08:30 to 14:00 7 days a week, deli service will be available 08:30-13:30.

The Post Office will continue to be open on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 09:30 to 12:30.

Deliveries will be now be available Monday through Friday with orders placed by 10am delivered the same day. We love having your business and we encourage you to place orders – don’t think you’re creating unwanted work for us!

These changes provide a bit more consistency and also should allow us to create a safer environment in the shop which allows us to get additional volunteers and professional staff back working in the shop. 

In August the Shop will be participating in the Government’s Eat Out to Help Out scheme. Under this scheme we will offer a 50% discount, up to a maximum of £10 per person, to all customers who eat and/or drink at our picnic tables throughout August on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. And that’s why we have bunting….

Contrary to popular rumour, the bunting has not been put up to celebrate a birthday this Thursday, it’s really there to allow us to clearly explain to customers how to eat on our premises, given that in August we do not plan to have seating in the shop or on the terrace. Anyone ordering food or drink for consumption on the shop benches inside the bunting will qualify for the Eat Out to Help Out discount.

Progress sometimes seems slow, but progress is being made. From Saturday 4th July customers can consume food and drink at the shop’s picnic tables.

The tables have been given some tender loving care and placed suitably distanced from each other on as level ground as can be found. Tim Coleman did a fine job of manicuring the grass. Thanks to all who helped with the tables today, we all agreed it is a lovely spot to sit, next to the pond, looking out on the Cricket Green, some in the sun, some in the shade, we’ve probably all taken it for granted in the past.

The Shop was open this last Saturday and Sunday mornings for the first time in a while. From now on the shop will be welcoming customers 7 days a week. But please come in the morning.

From now on, until further notice, the shop will be providing a walk-up service for take-away deli and groceries throughout the week up until 12:30pm. Unfortunately you will still not be able to enter the shop, all requests should be made from outside the front of the shop and paid for by card or contactless device.

For the next week (22nd to 26th June) we’ll be providing deliveries Monday through Friday, from the week beginning 29th June we’ll be doing deliveries on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays. We plan to continue providing a delivery service so long as there is demand for it, but may reduce further the number of days on which it is available. As before, delivery orders place before 11am will be delivered the same day.

Newspaper deliveries will continue until the end of this month. From July 1st newspapers should be collected from the Shop.

The Post Office will continue to be open Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings 09:30 to 12:30.

We hope that on the 4th July we will be able to restore the outside seating to the Shop. We will not be providing seating on the shop terrace but the picnic benches will be available.

The forecast for the next week is good, please come and see us, though you can’t come in the shop, we are lucky enough to have a large outdoor space in front of the shop with plenty of space for people to mingle at a distance and chat. The shop has always loved a bit of gossip and always will.
