The Stripey Badger is currently closed in line with Government Regulations. The Coffee Shop & Kitchen is not currently offering a takeaway service and the bookshop is not currently operating a 'click & collect' service. We are sorry about this but feel that it is the right thing to do given the number of covid cases in our small village. Our online shop is however OPEN so please do support us by buying online. Stay safe and we will see you all soon, we are sure.
