A gentle reminder that any orders for Gilmours Butchers should be in by 12 noon on Wednesday – see previous posts for contact details.

DELIVERY OPTIONS FROM: Welch Fish, Knox Newsagents, Gilmours Butchers…

Welch fish from Newhaven are delivering fish most days and are happy to include our community if anyone wants to order from them. They do have a list (hopefully they have a webpage) but generally have most fish/seafood.                                                                             Email for orders is: welchfish@btconnect.com and Telephone: 0131 552 5883.

Also Knox Newsagents (Dunbar) are still (at the moment) delivering papers in the village each morning. They may be able to include 1 pint of milk, each day, to a paper delivery. If they are coming to the village, anyway, they may be happy to add anyone to their list.                 Telephone: 01368 862662.

Info re orders to Gilmours Butchers, Tranent. If you wish to order from them the minimum spend is £25 with a small amount extra for delivery (please check when ordering if you’re happy with delivery charge). Can you please have your order in for 12 noon on Wednesday and they will deliver on Thursday. Please phone and ask for Paula and say you are part of the Garvald order. If £25 is too much for your weekly spend on meat perhaps consider organising a joint order with neighbours – but please always observe social distancing measures.             Telephone number is 01875 616111 and their website is www.gilmourbutchers.com.

The Garvald Inn will be providing a take-away service as of Wednesday 1st April 2020. Please see the poster, below, for details of how to order:

IMPORTANT – Emergency Resilience Team

We have been liaising with outside companies to discuss food deliveries to the village. Andersons can deliver fruit/veg/milk/cheese & bread and Gilmours can deliver meat. I don’t have any details yet regarding days & times of delivery, or indeed prices, but I’d like to gauge interest at this point so we can relay it back to Anderson & Gilmours. I expect that we would all place our own orders & pay for them over the phone but, this way, the orders will be streamlined to ensure the companies aren’t driving back & forth or are overstretched.

If you are interested in placing orders with either, please use the contact form below. If you think you may have any difficulties with ordering then please let us know – we’re happy to help.

CONTACTS Emergency Resilience Team

If anyone is interested, The Mart Farm Shop in East Linton are doing deliveries within 6 miles of their base. They have a selection of fresh and dried/tinned food as well as household items. If there is enough interest, they would take on a delivery to Garvald (and possibly Morham, too) and have asked for an idea of numbers. They don’t yet have a list of available items but they are working on it.

If you are interested in getting deliveries please use the contact form, below, and I’ll get back to them:
