Your village,
your shop.
Community-owned, volunteer-run, and open every day. The heart of Cottingham and Middleton — where neighbours meet, local produce shines, and everyone's welcome.
The Café
Freshly made,
every morning.
Our welcoming café is the perfect place to start the day or catch up with a friend. Everything is made fresh, from proper coffee to homemade cakes — the kind of café your local supermarket will never be.

Grown & made locally.
We're proud to stock goods from local farmers, bakers, dairies and artisan producers. Every purchase supports someone nearby — and the quality speaks for itself.
Our Team
Friendly faces,
every morning.
Alison and Berny run the shop together, supported by a wonderful team of volunteers who make the Village Store what it is. If you're a regular, you'll know what an asset they are.
"That little chat over the shop counter can be the perfect way to get to know others in your community."
