The Village Shop is ideally situated in the centre of the village, meeting the needs of both residents and visitors. A typical village shop you may say. Well, not exactly…

Our shop is owned by the members, staffed by volunteers and managed by committee

The Talaton Village Shop Association was founded in 1993 and the shop opened for business in February 1994.  We moved to new premises in 2006 and had our opening ceremony on our 12th anniversary.

In addition to the usual groceries & provisions, household goods, stationery & confectionery, customers can also take advantage of the HOME GROWN or HOME MADE produce that members sell through the shop, such as:-

HOME MADE or HOME GROWN GOODS	ADDITIONAL SERVICES
Fruit & veg Plants & flowers Free range eggs Cakes, pies, meringues & biscuits Marmalade, jam, honey & chutney Greeting cards Various items of craft work & gifts	Post Office Off-license Magazines (to order) Prescription delivery service Dry Cleaning  Riverford Organic fruit & veg Otter Rotter Re-cycling

SITUATIONS VACANT - Do you have 2 hours a week to spare? Or can you join our stand-by list to help out on an occasional basis? Or can you drive to the cash & carry once a month to do our shopping?

If the answer to any of these questions is yes then please get in touch with Val Blake (822435) or Tricia (822890) to find out how you can volunteer to help your Village Shop stay open. It's a great way to meet people and you won't be left on your own. We can also promise that our till is easier to operate than your video/DVD recorder!
