Bildeston Village Stores and Post Office

A thoughtfully run local store providing an incredible range of products in a small space. Locally sourced meat; high quality veg and local seasonal produce; a well stocked fridge and freezer selection; coffee and hot snacks; post office and stationary, the list goes on. I've always found the owners and staff friendly and helpful, such an improvement on the previous ownership.

Good quality food although high prices. I’ve had experiences where the shop sells gone off food for free. There are some workers who are very inexperienced.

I've lived in bildeston just over ten years and am appalled as to what the village shop has become. When richard was in charge, it was friendly, had decent prices and had an atmoshphere of community. However since the new owners, staff have been unenthusiastic, unhelpful and quite frankly rude. All the owners want is to line their own pockets, increasing prices week by week and employing younger, less experienced staff to reduce their cost of wages. They know they can get away with increasing these prices to such extortionate levels as the next shop is miles away, and extremely inconvenient for the older members of the village.This manipulative behaviour has become the downfall of the shop and has turned many locals away from wanting to shop there. It's so sad to see such a community broken apart by greedy shop owners who want to rake the locals for everything they have whilkst providing a below average service at best. Stay away.

I've been a local resident for a couple of years now and have always noted a complete impersonal style of service. I say 'Hello' and nothing.... I say 'goodbye', and nothing... or sometimes a barely audible response. It isnt unusual for no response at all. However, they are all often too keen to ask you if you are looking for anything if you browse just abit too long... I know I'm not wrong... they have everything you need at the shop on the up side... apart from a welcoming service with a smile. I think they just want you to leave as soon as possible to be honest.

Don't know why I bothered wearing a mask and obeying the law, this shop was serving customers who didn't have masks on. It's such a small little shop and the mask-less customers didn't make me or my daughter feel safe. Non of the staff challenged them or even politely pointed it out. Disappointed!
