A wide selection of chocolate goodies for Easter now in stock. Sourced from one of Nick’s favourite suppliers in Cornwall these handmade eggs and Easter specialities are made from fine Belgian chocolate. Great value and something different – a minimum of packaging and maximum chocolate! Also traditional chocolates in boxes, bars and bags and one of my favourites – stem ginger enrobed in chocolate. Did we mention there’s dark, milk, white and mixed chocolate varieties too? Enjoy!

Chadlington Quality Foods has been announced as Southern Region winner of the “Best Village Shop / Post Office” Category in the prestigious Countryside Alliance Awards.  Although previously a finalist in the “Local Food” category, the judges’ view was that CQF “fulfilled a brilliant role as a Village Shop” in addition to our role supporting Local Food.

Nick, Kath, Emma, Mike and Elizabeth will attend the National Finals event at the House of Lords on Wednesday 3rd February, where the overall winner in each category will be selected by a distinguished panel of judges. Thanks to all our customers for supporting us and especially to those who nominated us for the award!

Our congratulations and best wishes to Jean Heath, who has been awarded an MBE for her services as teaching assistant at Chadlington School in the Queen’s New Year’s Honours List. See the full article by the Oxford Mail.

We were delighted to hear that Santa has decided to use CQF’s Jute shopping bags in place of more glitzy paper gift bags this Christmas.  At only £3 each or 2 for £5, they make an excellent present in themselves and are a practical way to wrap up your parcels.  “Being a good size and with a full rectangular base they stack very well in the back of the sleigh and the sturdy handles don’t break as you’re climbing down the chimney” said Santa.  Our bags are environmentally sound, fairly traded, carbon neutral and use natural materials instead of oil-based synthetics.

Why not start your day with coffee made from our new range of coffee beans. Choose from Continental, Mysore, Costa Rica or Mocha beans – we can supply them whole or grind them for you with our exciting new machine! (prices start at £2.95 per 250g).  See more on our Coffee and Teas page.

Monday 21^st – Wednesday 23^rd – 8.30am – 5.30pm
