Hello from Sawrey (Miss Potter village)

Far Sawrey lies in rolling farmland and wooded hillsides above Lake Windermere. It is the area where the "Miss Potter" film is based upon. This is a blog from the village shop, which is not dis-similar to the Beatrix Potter Ginger and Pickles Shop here in the heart of the village where Beatrix Potter lived and wrote her world famous stories including "The Tale of Peter Rabbit"

Good Morning from Sunny Sawrey........its Local Independents Week or to you and I its SHOP LOCAL WEEK, we have invited the local paper to come and do a feature on this local shop, but I have taken a picture to show you all our display
The campaign highlights the importance of the local shop in a community and the former CBI boss Sir Digby Jones says that “local stores are the glue which binds communities together”. We hope you agree that Sawrey Stores fulfils this role and we wish to thank all of our existing customers who’s support makes running the village shop a very special experience
If you haven’t been to Sawrey Stores lately then why not take this opportunity to visit us, free parking is available outside the shop and at Braithwaite Hall opposite The Sawrey Hotel.
We are open 7 days a week from 8.30am-5.30pm except on Wed when we close at 1.00pm.

We have fresh bread delivered 5days a week from the Apple Pie in Ambleside and from the new Munx Lakeland bakery in Stavely.

Due to our very healthy customers we go to the fresh fruit and vegetable market in Manchester and we come back with the van loaded with lots of juicy fruit and vegetables at very reasonable prices.

We stock a large range of English Lakes Ice Creams for those hot summer days that are on their way (we hope)

We are very proud to sell the award winning Cumberland Sausage stuffed with black pudding and Bacon which comes from Keswick Fine Game and Meats
