Hatley’s shop and post office

We are very fortunate in Hatley to have a shop and post office – few other villages of our size, and larger, still have a shop.  It’s run by Sylvia and Mick Marshall – Sylvia has been our postmaster for 30 years.

Most of the things sold in the shop are branded items from household name companies.

But it can only survive if lots of people use it – please do!

• The shop is open from 7.00 am to 6.00 pm most weekdays.

  If there’s a sign on the pavement, you’ll find it open, weekdays and weekends.

• If the shop is open and Sylvia is there, you can use the post office.
• It also provides a basic banking service for personal and business banking accounts (see below).
• Detailed shop and PO opening hours.

Everything from banking to baked beans

Sylvia and Mick sell all the basics one needs:

• Fresh milk (see below), general groceries, tea and coffee plus local eggs and local honey.
• As well as ‘essentials’… loo rolls, flour, batteries and baked beans etc.

The post office does most of the things you’d expect these days, including:

• Banking stuff like cash withdrawals – there’s no need to go to Gamlingay, Biggleswade or Royston if you just want to take out cash or pay in cheques or cash… all you need is your bank or debit card.
• Post office services include stamps, bill payment and e-top ups.

Fresh milk delivery  On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, Mick will deliver milk to your door – ring him on 01767 650 971 to arrange deliveries.
