Whiteshill and Ruscombe Village Shop advert!

Here are some myths:

·      VILLAGE SHOPS ARE EXPENSIVE

·      VILLAGE SHOPS ONLY OFFER A VERY LIMITED RANGE

·      VILLAGE SHOPS DO NOT SELL FRESH BREAD

Yes, the above does apply to many village shops, as they need to make enough profits to cover wages and large overheads. This comes from one of the volunteers who keep our village shop (plus Coffee Bar with the best views in Gloucestershire) going:

Luckily none of the above apply to Whiteshill and Ruscombe Village Shop.  The shop, situated by the playing fields at Whiteshill, is run entirely by unpaid volunteers.  The shop is very well stocked to provide a wide range of products to cover customers’ daily needs and lifestyle choices and includes ;

Everyday items  - Eco Products  -  Vegetarian  -    Local Products and Produce  -  Crafts  - Daily / Weekend Newspapers reserved for a small fee   -  Fresh Bread, pies, pasties and other goods baked daily in a Bread Oven on the premises  -  Coffee Shop with panoramic views serving Tea, Coffee, Cakes,  Snacks & Light Meals

If you can spare a couple of hours a week on a fairly regular or occasional basis to help in the shop, or have other skills or can help in any other way,  please give your details to Mary Watkins or any other shop volunteer, or at the shop number 01453 766277.  Shifts can be very flexible to suit you, and you can make new friends and meet new people in a friendly welcoming atmosphere

Shop hours are Mon-Fri 9 – 5, Saturday 9 – 1,  Sunday 9 – 11.
