Burrington Community Shop is a non profit making venture that was set up to serve our local people. We try to support local suppliers wherever possible. The shop is situated within Pickard's Country Store that is across the roadway from the Chapel and car park.
We carry a wide range of groceries, including dried and tinned products, some fresh fruit and vegetables, confectionary, frozen items including ice cream, some meat products, eggs and dairy, household items and toiletries.
We have deliveries of fresh fruit and veg, dairy and bakery products twice a week from local suppliers, all of which can be ordered directly by our customers.

The shop is open:
Monday - Friday from 8am to 5pm
Saturdays from 9am to 1pm
Closed on bank holidays

Latest News
If you haven't visited the shop for a while you might be surprised! In the new year we finished installing new cupboard units to smarten up the rear of the shop and shortly afterwards got our new larger ice cream freezer, stocked with loads of lovely ice creams for the summer.
Your community shop relies on a lot of hard work by many volunteers. Members of the community who give of their time to order goods, put them away, clean shelves etc. We are always looking for new volunteers who might be able to donate an hour or so per week to help keep our community shop running. For further information, please do get in touch. Thanks!

Fresh dairy products from the Cornish Trewithen Dairy
We are aware that some customers have had ongoing issues with milk from the shop. So we have changed supplier just this week and will now get milk and cream from the Trewithen Dairy in Cornwall.
These products are delivered on refrigerated lorries and have a good long date, typically 10-14 days, so we really hope that you will enjoy these products.
PS Just because the clotted cream comes from Cornwall doesn't mean that it goes on top of the jam! 😉
