For everyday essentials, Spar has it covered. No need to go to Tesco. I believe they will also order in meat from a nearby butchers if you request it. At the back they often sell locally produced jams etc and in the colder months you can purchase wood for the woodburner. Ideal if you do not have a car available. They also have a small post office.
