Darrell Haylett, previously the Head Chef of The George of Spaldwick, has taken the opportunity to open his own village shop, known as ‘Number 12′, with his wife Maud.

Darrell’s passion for food has led him to provide Spaldwick with its much-needed ‘Village Shop’ and delicatessen. It provides him with an avenue to sell and promote the wonders of local produce for people to enjoy in their own home. It is located conveniently in Spaldwick, just across the road from The George.

Some of the produce featured in the shop  includes eggs from alpha farm, potatoes, strawberries and honey from Pidley, stoned fruits and apples from the orchards surrounding Cambridge, Toms Cakes from Somersham, freshly baked bread, homemade jams and chutneys, old fashioned sweets weighed at the counter, cold pressed rapeseed oil from Farringtons and local organic flours from Glebe Farm from just outside Huntingdon.

A hundred years ago there were several shops in Spaldwick. Butcher, baker, grocer, drapers, a blacksmith and several pubs. In the 1970s there were just two stores, one of which was also a post office, then there was one and then none. We all know the attractions of the supermarket but a shop, in our own village, is an asset. Let us give Darrell and Maud our support.
