Meet the team

"After 20 years in various hospitality roles, I have finally found my happy place as a village shopkeeper!
‍
Combining nearly all of my favourite things - people, wine, things made by passionate folk, community and hospitality in this truly beautiful
part of the world that I love living and
working in.
‍
I aim to make you feel welcome in our wee shop, to provide help and advice on our products and to have a chat- big, small or anything in between!"

"A Manchester resident since 2005, I moved with my family to the hills to enjoy a country life (with easy access to the big city) and luckily somewhere, in the very village in which I live, became available for me to open my dream shop.
‍
Lou lived nearby, a fellow epicurean, who I knew from working in a bar in Manchester and the rest is history.

I'm on hand for all of your craft beer relatedquestions and to lend an ear to all of yourweather complaints."
