The Cream House Dairy (Milk Shack) – Update
Exciting News! – The Cream House Dairy arrives and fit out has started!
The Cream House Dairy is an initiative by Doveridge Parish Council and is dedicated to serving the community with fresh, locally sourced goods and everyday essentials.
Following the closure of the Village Stores and Post Office and listening to your concerns about this at the Extra Ordinary Meeting back in May 2024, the Parish Council tasked themselves with finding a solution to help meet residents’ needs.
After lots of research we partnered with R.L Vernon and who designed the Cream House Diary for us. We collaborated with the Village Hall Committee so that it is situated right in the heart of the village. We hope it will be an asset to the community and trust you will enjoy and make good use of it.
>We have fondly called it “The Milk Shack” during development, but you will see it’s called “The Cream House Dairy” when you visit. The Opening day will be published as soon as the internal fit out is completed.
How does it work?
The Cream House Dairy will be stocked by local suppliers who display their produce in chilled glass cabinets. You will need a bank card (or mobile phone) to make purchases as it’s cashless.
During the first few days members of the Parish Council will be on hand to help anyone with vending and contactless payment.
It’s not just about Dairy!
The Cream House Dairy will provide a range of local produce including fresh milk, cream, milk shakes, ice cream and a range of hot drinks. Other essentials such as bread (bake at home), bacon, sausages cakes and pastries and other delights will be on offer.
Come along to give it a try!
Proposed Opening Hours
In the summer months we hope the Cream House Dairy will be open from 8.00am to 9.00pm and during the winter from 8.00am to 8.00pm
Located next to the village Hall in Sand Lane, Doveridge.
The Cream House Dairy Needs You!
We are looking for volunteers to help us open and lock up each day.
Can you help? If so, please contact Cllr Jo Ewing on 01889 562556
