G & R Tudge is a family-run business based in nearby Richard’s Castle and their Herefordshire-reared pigs and free-range turkeys, are, for many, an essential component of a traditional Christmas meal.
Remember that if you want to order your Christmas turkeys and sausages/hams/ bacons etc. from Tudges to collect at the shop then you will need to fill in a form, available to collect from the shop.
The orders will be ready to collect after midday on Friday 20 December. They will need to be collected by 13:00 on Tuesday 24 December as the shop will be closed after that until Friday 27 December. Do let us know if you need your order any earlier than that as this can be arranged.
If you would like to order any specialty breads/dairy products, pies and pâtés, then you will need to e-mail
The Christmas hamper raffle is now in full swing and the hamper is on display in the shop. Come and buy a ticket for a £1 a number and see if this year’s box filled with our delicious Christmas treats and fare will be yours this year! The raffle will be drawn on Friday 20 December at 11:00 which means that the lucky winner has plenty of time to collect and start to enjoy it over the Christmas weekend.
If you would like to buy a hamper as a gift then please ask in the shop. Tell us what you would like in it/the price you would like to pay and it will be made up for you. Please allow a few days for us to make it up and then it will be ready for you to collect.
Remember, if you need to withdraw cash, the Post Office serves as an ATM and you can withdraw money from your account across the counter. The added advantage of doing this is that for every withdrawal made the Post Office will donate a penny to the Trussell Trust - a charity which provides emergency food and essential toiletries to those in sudden acute need, and also works to create a future where everyone can afford the essentials and no one needs to use a foodbank.
Our very best wishes to all our customers, volunteers, staff and all in the Parish for a peaceful and happy Christmas and New Year. Thank you for all your support over the year.
An Easy way to support our shop.
If you shop online then you might like to consider signing up with Easy Fundraising - this is an online scheme that many well known retailers and brands are signed up to.
It won’t cost you anything but the member businesses will make a small donation to your chosen good cause - Yarpole Community Shop - if you choose us. There are about 130 people already supporting us and we do benefit every year by around £200 so it is well worth doing and costs nothing. Thank you.
