Napton Village Stores in Stratford-on-Avon

We arrived at napton post office at 11.13am - then the shop assistant asked what could she get for me - I said sausage baguette 🥖 plzz - she said we stop serving at 11am but the sign above her head said sun 11.30 and there was a full tray of sausage's- there's always something with that woman- she's never happy 🙁

Amazing shop& Deli, gorgeous scotch eggs, pastries & cakes Lovely community store with beautiful produce for sale! Would definitely visit again!

Brilliant local store - best one we’ve ever been in. There was lots of local produce on offer and a wide selection of groceries. Above all, the baked pastries and savouries looked amazing.

Perfect stop off point when you’re out on your bike. Great coffee and cakes, lots of seating, a safe place to leave your bike and a water tap to fill up your bottles.

Der Laden ist ansprechend und einladend, die Bedienung allerdings nicht! Die Bezeichnung 'Café' ist nicht wirklich zutreffend, da man den Kaffee aus Pappbechern trinkt und das Stück Kuchen/Torte leider aus Plastikboxen oder Papiertüten mit Plastikbesteck isst. Sehr schade!

What a lovely village general store! Aside from the large stock of everything that one might need for village life, there was also a small cafe which served possibly the finest bacon baguette I've ever had (very good quality bacon and lots of it). Somewhat surreal to be in this quintessentially English shop on the morning of Charles III coronation.

This little shop stocks the freshest fruit and the best cakes. Not to mention the takeaway quiches and pies. And it has newspapers. About 10 minutes walk from the canal and deservedly used extensively by boaters.

Wandered here from nearby village of Priors Marston just to see what was on offer have seen it pop on on Trip Advisor. Was simply amazed by the cake and savoury selection on offer, all looked lovely. A previous review had mentioned water buffalo burgers, intrigued I bought a packet and sausages too. Staff friendly and a perfect village shop.

Hannah absolutely saved my bacon when I lost my wallet in the village. Not only did she track me down to tell me it had been handed in, she called the bank to let them know! What total legend can't thank you enough

Recommended for breakfast by Black Prince Canal boats and what a great find. Pre ordered as there were 6 of us and had a beautifully cooked takeaway breakfast on a picnic table under the gazebo. What a great end to a lovely weekend away. Well stocked shop with a good selection of takeaway food. Thank you.

Have lived in the area for over 6yrs, heard of a farm that had water buffalo. I had read that buffalo meat was a lot healthier than beef. So on my birthday yesterday we went to get some from Napton Village Store, when we got there it the staff were very helpful and the store was full of fresh produce, as well as frozen water buffalo burgers. Which are some of the best burgers I've ever tasted. From field to shelf is less than 1/2 mile and well priced. Congratulations guys, I will return. 👍

Oh this is rather wonderful, a quality village shop with excellent staff and good produce. It's the sort of place that if you woke up with a roaring hangover the bacon, eggs and bread would be so delicious you'd forget the indiscretions of the night before and yomp on your way with glee and a spring in your step. I was slightly disconcerted on my last visit when I recognised someone in there but couldn't quite place them. Assuming they were a teacher from my long lost school days I headed off scratching my head only to remember they were a very famous actor some time later. Ah well, clearly this is about the food, the service and less about the selfies. All to the good.

Lovely little place with a wide variety of things that you probably don't even know you want until you see it. We popped in after leaving our hire boat at Napton Narrowboats. We sat outside on the benches provided with a cup of coffee and slice of cake bought inside. Good bakery, good fresh produce, friendly service

Great shop, well stocked with both gourmet treats and everyday basics. Local fruit/veg and buffalo-derived produce (surprised not to see Napton Cider available). Staff appear helpful and enthusiastic in what they do. With a covered seating area they would make a killing!

This is a well stocked general store, with most things you might need. Fantastic . Local bread and produce, great sausages!

I used Napton Store’s ‘Catering to go/click and collect’ service for a garden party for 30 people. The food was fabulous; buffalo burgers including chilli ones were great on the BBQ, beautiful sausages including pepper ones, cheese quiches, homemade salads and desserts to die for! I highly recommend them, so easy and helpful, excellent value too. Thanks to Hannah and Adam.

Lovely little village store, selling local produce as well as wines and beers. What is most outstanding though is the good old fashioned quality service. I arrived at 13.30 on a Bank Holiday Monday. The shop closed at 13.00 and a lady was leaving, having cashed up. She told me that the shop was closed, but opened up to serve me. No fuss. Just happy to oblige. Thank you very much Beautiful steaks sold, there too. Tasty!

Hannah and Adam run an amazing shop/ cafe. Nothing is too much trouble and the food is delicious and home made. There’s a great variety of things to pick from, and their approach to sustainable/ eco shopping is incredible in such a small village. Wish our local store had a refill system! They are both incredibly passionate about what they do, and it shines through. Definitely stop off next time your nearby, you won’t be disappointed! (Oh and they have a post office too which trades the same hours so is very handy!)

Use it or lose it. We absolutely love our village shop and try to support it as much as possible. We’ve used a well known veg delivery a few times but decided to try the ‘Click & Collect’ fruit and veg box from NVS. What a lovely surprise - it was overflowing with a plethora of colour and variety. We were also able to add chicken and steak (local) to the order, but their website has loads of other choice too. As NVS is a family business the owners are more than happy to be as accommodating as they can to fulfil your online order. Thank you NVS - keep up the great work.

Delightful village setting easy walking distance from canal. Amazing range of foodstuffs, Take aways and Fresh Bread. Check the Freezer out too, Buffalo milk Ice Cream.

Thank you Napton Village Stores for the delicious homemade lasagne we collected and had for dinner tonight. Lovely warming comfort food in the cold autumn weather. Nom!Unlike my lasagne the kids loved it and it’s really good value as its large enough to do two family dinners.

A lovely village shop and post office providing not only locally produced products and cheaper alternatives with great customer service and a friendly atmosphere.

Finishing our holiday on a narrowboat at lower heyford we made a slight,lol,detour to napton village stores for some buffalo burgers,i had messaged the previous evening and got an almost instant reply confirming stock.My wife went into the shop and subsequently came out with a few more items than just the burgers,we also had a couple of rather nice breakfast baquettes a a takeaway tea all extremely good value.The store was well stocked,and my wife made to feel very welcome,why can't all village stores be this good.More than worth a visit if your in the area,we will certainly be back

Best cafe around - I travel 15 mins to go to this friendly cafe. Great place & I often recommend to friends.

Great to find a post office in a village to start with. Excellent range of fresh meats including water buffalo burgers, sausage etc from farm up the road. Bake their own speciality breads throughout the day. Small cafe, very busy. Beautiful looking quiches etc.

Travelling from Gloucester to Northampton for a meeting we stopped at this Jem of a location for breakfast. There is not a lot one can say other than Fantastic. Great bunch of very freindly staff providing freshly cooked food to order. But as well as this a massive selction of other produce. Plenty of people coming and going. Many thanks to my driver for sorting this out. Will be calling in again.

As a regular user of the Napton Village Stores Post Office and Cafe, I can honestly say I have never been let down. There is a fine selection of fresh veg and bread, freezers with locally supplied meats (including water buffalo for a bit of something different), a good drinks selection (including local cider) and many speciality items. All these plus gifts (many made locally) and general household goods. I don't know how they fit it all in the space. The cafe has lovely hot and cold food (eat in or take away), and a cake selection that is always good. Lovely friendly staff and a nice spot just to sit and have a coffee, outside if the weather is fine. If you are passing, drop-in, if not, make a diversion!

This is a gem in the village of NaptonSells amazing local produceFabulous cafe and the food is literally cooked next doorGreat range of crafts sold tooCertainly worth a visit!NB shuts Sunday afternoon

ナローボートの旅に出る前に、こちらで食料などを調達しました。郵便局と一緒になっているストアで、小さいですが、最低限のものは購入することができました。

I was on a 3 day camping trip with family and friends. We stopped for lunch here on a really hot day after walking along the canal. We had 3 hungry children and 4 adults. The service and friendliness was really special, we came back again on the day we were leaving for another lunch and it was just as good. The manager was so helpful and the atmosphere with all staff was very friendly and they really worked well as a team. The food was lovely and I really can heartily recommend this place, it was a highlight in a really great weekend.

Pleasant and helpful staff, gorgeous homemade cakes, wonderful breakfast, lovely indoor and outdoor seating, right in the centre of Napton.The shop carries general food stuffs and quality gifts, usually locally sourced, which I appreciate. Farm fresh eggs are available and fresh bread made on site.The only downside is the coffee is machine made and not by a barista at an espresso machine. I would recommend this shop, and advise you to drink tea

Its always great to find a local shop, selling a different variety of foods, this place certainly does that, meats, bread and more, brilliant outlet

A well stocked little store and the only place for miles on the canal where one can buy a newspaper.

I visited here to buy some of the newly stocked Carpenters Farm Shop meat and some fresh bread, what a treat to get it locally, so many lovely things to buy in this amazing shop. I can’t wait to go back and get some more for the weekend, the sausages were so delicious.

Great for breakfast or brunch, lovely bread, local produce and foodie treats, great for gifts and locally made craft items and you can even get your amazon parcel delivered here! Highly recommended if you are ever in the area.

We called in unplanned to see if we could get a spot of lunch. We felt very welcomed by all the staff and were impressed with the range of goods on display in the post office and shop. This is what you'd call a "proper" village shop. Probably nothing you couldn't buy! Although they still offered a tempting selection of breakfast dishes until 3.30 pm, and there was a huge range of choice on the menu, I had a delicious ploughman's with proper ham, cheese and all the trimmings and my husband had a prawn baguette, all freshly made and reasonably priced. If we were passing through again we would definitely call in here for lunch. PS and a feathery light coffee and walnut sponge cake went down very well for afters!

On a canal boat and moored up very near The Folly pub (which was excellent as well). Went to this store / cafe and what a delight. The cafe had a full range of sandwiches, cakes etc and we have a fantastic sausage baguette (made with proper meaty sausages). The store is well stocked and has everything you could need. Well worth stopping off here and mooring for the night (water point and rubbish disposal also here as well).

Currently on a canal boat and this shop was a brilliant find. Being to cheap to pay for instant coffee from the shops I enjoyed my first coffee of the week. The staff were friendly, the buffalo icecrem was delisious, nice novelty preservatives (ie lemon curd labled with Napton on The hill) Only fault was there were no postcards (that I could see) only greeting cards.

On our biannual canal trip discovered this perfect little shop. Grab a coffee and cake and top up your provisions, you can even pick up a gift for your cat sitter... worth the 15 minute hike up the hill 😂

WOW Indeed, I so wish we had a store near where we live like this .

I haven’t eaten here but have been in the shop many times when other customers are eating and food always looks and smells lovely as for shop offers everything you need !! And I always find staff from helpful from getting cash out at post office to finding a farmers guardian to locating the local produce it’s always a pleasure and u always find something that looks tasty u end up buying as an extra well done

We have just came back from a week on the canal and we are so glad we found this shop. The first time we went we had lunch had there homemade soup I had lasagne it was gorgeous and we took cake back to the canal boat for later. The next time we had a ploughman’s and a home made peri peri chicken pasta delicious. Would also recommend the frozen meals took them back and cooked them for tea. Thank you for such a lovely couple of lunches

Absolutely loved it here. Extremely friendly staff and lovely coffee and cake in proper mugs. We sat inside and there is a small seating area, a wooden table with dining chairs round for anyone to sit round, which gives a nice community feel. There are bar stools for window seating also and generally the atmosphere is of a friendly happy village with people shopping for there groceries, using the post office and relaxing for a coffee. There is outside seating too for warmer days. I will definitely be going back again... And again.

I arrived at Napton On The Hill by narrowboat on the Oxford Canal on a sunny Sunday late morning in January, I was very hungry but my fridge was bare and I had 9 locks to climb. So I took the short walk to the village shop, but I was too late they had been closed for 30mins and there was nowhere else for miles to buy groceries. But the nice ladies at the store took pity on the hungry traveller and kindly opened up the shop, when really they just wanted to go home. So highly recommended this friendly village store and the food was just as good, I will be returning.

Saw the previous reviews and on a day out Christmas shopping thought we would take a detour and check out the breakfast. Really good veggie option and hubby enjoyed his bacon roll. Lovely hot chocolate. The post office seems to be the hub of the village and a hive of activity and we even purchased 3 pairs gloves!

I am usually very pleased with my order of Christmas Hampers from Hannah at Napton Village Stores. This year I am exceptionally delighted because my customers are so grateful with the style, content and thought that go into each and every one of them.

Whether you're walking, cycling, on the canal or a local this cafe & shop does it all. Excellent service, home made food, local sustainable produce & a great atmosphere. Cant recommend it enough & even if you're jst passing by drop in & be pleasantly surprised at whats on offer - from local free range pork & bacon to extensive grass fed lamb, beef & water buffalo (including buffalo ice cream) Napton Cidery is jst round the corner & when they're shut you can buy plenty of their product here too. Local Appletree dairy milk & yoghurt is a real treat & it'll be impossible to resist their homemade cakes Check out the quirky locally made bird boxes & beautiful tiles.

We have stayed at The Folly Cottages about three times now and this little shop/cafe has become a compulsory part of our itinerary , well stocked and lots of character and friendly staff too ! We have brought home some goodies including the local honey and some water buffalo burgers. And every time we come we take home some clotted cream shortbread for my parents. Keep up the good work

Is a great little shop and Post Office in the centre of the village and about 15 mins from the canal. Friendly and helpful staff.

I expected to find a small "Spar" type shop.

This store is amazing, freshly baked pastries, great breads, coffee, homemade cakes, sandwiches etc. Plus it stocks all you need in most departments. Definitely worth a visit.

A friendly, well-stocked community shop, post office and cafe, with friendly and helpful staff - highly recommended.

Staff are lovely, very personable and helpful. Hot and cold food selection is homemade and delicious! The coffee is decent too.

First visit recently for lunch with a friend. So much lovely, fresh, local produce. Staff are super friendly and the food was delicious. Would highly recommend. I can’t believe I’ve not been here before (??) but will definitely be going back!!

Brilliant, friendly and open early on a Sunday. Perfect for a cycle stop. Courteous and friendly staff and great prices on coffee and cake. One of the staff helped me work the coffee machine in my hypoxic state! Will make the stop again... Thanks.

An intersting place as it is a cafe, Post office, and a store that sells quite a variety of things. Every day food stuffs but also home made breads, home made style jams etc plus gifts. The cafe part is super and my friends and `I enjoy our visits.Tea or coffee in proper china cups / mugs.

Several steps above the general village store. Only a ten minute walk from the canal in an attractive village

This is such a quaint post office shop have visited many times, today took our daughter and family. Hot food and cold snacks available as well as drinks, food shopping and much more.

Whether you are popping in for supplies. Need a fresh sandwich, hot meal, cake - this is the place to stop. Also fabulous from organic food and gifts .... to your vegetable box.

What a wonderful place.. perfect watering hole if you’re walking, cycling, or pop in for groceries... highly recommend bacon butties... and go for the extra bacon, it is so worth it. Can’t wait to go back

I am on a mission to find the best sausage bap (my weakness!). Found it today at this wonderful little place. Lovely, fresh, still warm roll with flavoursome, good textured sausages. Was very tempted to have a second one but common sense prevailed!! This is a gem of a place. Great, fresh, home produced food. Well stocked shop and very welcoming, friendly staff. Always look forward to a visit.

What an amazing place! This little village shop has an added cafe serving wonderful home made cakes, croissants and pies all at reasonable prices with a good selection of tea, coffees and hot chocolate. The staff are so friendly and it’s all served on pretty china.

I normally grab a takeaway salad.

I've been meaning to pop a review on Trip Advisor about Izzy's Tuna Salad from the wonderful Napton Village Stores for a while now. Normally I grab a takeaway one but today I decided to sit down and ear in.

Just finished a week end away on the canal with 9 other adults (In laws), when we invaded this place to settle up the bill for the weekend. This is a proper shop has everything ,well almost everything, you could want for and make bacon rolls to die for. If in the area get yourselves down there and enjoy. Tell them 4 slices of bacon sent you.

We walked up from our narrow boat on the canal to see this lovely shop and post office. The staff went out of their way to help us. There are lovely gifts, great food and a warm and friendly charm. A beautiful place to spend a little time.

Our second day visit and have been met by the very kind Sam. The whole team of Sam, Rhea, Harvey and Klara where rushed off their feet, but made us feel relaxed and had a great breakfast!

What a little gem of a village store with great customer services and a superb mix of both the essentials and items that will tempt you. Certainly worth a visit to explore the variety of their offering including a wonderful kitchen cooking fresh food on the spot!

A very welcome coffee stop on our cycle ride. Good choice of excellent food and drinks, very friendly staff, particular thanks to Sarah. Can definitely recommend and will be paying a return visit!

Fabulous little shop. Proprietor was very friendly and helpful. Some lovely gifts too.

Excellent for groceries, take aways etc. but stood at the takeway counter waiting to be served while 4 assistants stood around chatting. Had to go round to the Post Office counter to get served

They have artisan bread, good selection of interesting food as well as a nice cafe in the corner service decent coffee and cakes and pastries. great to visit for supplies if you are passing on the canal or to pop in for a coffee if you arent.

This shop is a small wonderland. Have jsut visited and have christmas cards you dont see anywhere else. Service is so friendly. coffee and cake a must. It is a wonderful shop. Napton residents very lucky to have such a place

We visited in April this year after a fellow boater recommended it when we were moored nearby, we did not realise it also had a cafe and were just in time for a lovely snack and cuppa and quick shop for some essentials. We are at Napton again this weekend and planning to partake of their full english brekky before cruising off on the final day of our honeymoon.

Situated about a 10 minute walk from the canal we use this as a regular place to replenish supplies when...

I have a new favourite cake. I always thought nothing would beat the Lemon Meringue Pie. Now Napton Village Stores...

After a serious mechanical failure and, an ill fated attempt to cycle the Oxford Canal from Oxford to the Grand...

Excellent shop in a beautiful village. Extensive stock of local produce and fresh food. They do an excellent Full English...

Napton-on-the-Hill has a lot going for it - a nice and quiet rural village with a superb pub and this...

Well who would have thought that a shop and post office would turn out a lovely place to eat. After...

Everything that we need in the shop from food to newspapers and local products. The cafe part sells great food...

Anyone thinking of opening a village store should I sit this establishment.

We visited here for a pint of milk after mooring by the Folly bridge. We ended up eating breakfast, drinking coffee and buying lunch and cake to takeaway! Beautiful local produce and a very friendly and helpful welcome. Would highly recommend.

Great stores and cafe , half a mile from the canal,bustling considering its rural location,lovely homemade cakes and savouries,artisan breads, loads of stuff,gifts,cards endless I unfortunately witnessed " Mrs I am so efficient " dressing down Carla in front of me which could have been done somewhere more discreet,not impressedI had put my bag on the end of a long table so I could look out the window, over heard Mrs efficient telling Carla to move me onto the small table in case a large party came in,well no such party arrived but I moved myself!

Sat outside and enjoyed a pot of tea. Prices reasonable and staff very friendly. Local produce sold supporting the local community

Very friendly general stores & cafe. Cafe serves a good range of tasty light bites & cakes. Seems to be well used by locals; passing cyclists & walkers; and boaters from the nearby canal. Every village should have a store/cafe like this one.

Every village should have one like this! Friendly welcome, very well stocked with a mini cafe with home made cakes and good coffee.

The young owners, since taking over the Post Office and village store just three years ago, have worked so hard and made it into a terrific cafe/store that sells everything you could need/souvenir shop/Post office etc etc. The food and cakes, all home made by Hannah, are superb and it is open from 0700 till 1900 Monday to Friday - such service.

After walking for 30 minutes from our narrow boat to the village store based on their 7am Saturday opening time, I was stopped from entering and told that they do not open til 8.00am. So after an hours return walk I got back empty handed. My wife was unimpressed that she didn't get her morning coffee and the promised locally baked bread for breakfast. Please change your signs when you change your trading hours.

Great shop for supplies, Bread and cakes selection excellent, I bought spelt bead ,it was delicious ,also had every thing I needed .well done ,this is a Gem of a shop and an easy walk from the canal .

We walked to the pub along the canal side on a hot day so it was a welcome rest. The landlord was welcoming and the atmosphere was great. We sat in the beer garden and would definitely come back, next time for food as it smelt delicious

Great place to break your Canal trip, stock up the boat, and enjoy a quiche or a marvelous bacon sandwich. Theresa and Sam are delightful, and the cake is to die for!

Simply the Best.You can't beat the homemade Scotch Eggs at Napton Village Stores.Followed by Lemon Meringue Pie.Not sure what Weight watchers would think...Hahaha.

A regular visitor to this cafe for both eat in and take out, the quality of the food can't be faulted. Hot snacks ara available, the homemade soup comes highly recommended, and the cakes are quite delicious. Part of the local store there are hand made gifts available as well as a good range of groceries, interesting bakery goods and fresh vegetables. Worth a diversion into the village if you are passing.

My husband and I found this by chance and I'm so glad we did. This place is amazing. A true local establishment. Staff so very friendly and obliging. That offer local food and crafts. They catered for every form of shopping to organic foods and gifts sorted locally and a very nice cottage kitchen with delightful food (had a lovely breakfast there) also the locally baked cakes and bread looked very tasty :) If your staying in or pasting through Napton well worth a visit.

A lovely store with great staff and great coffee. Ideal stop off for those touring the Warwickshire routes

We had lunch, a breakfast and a take out lunch here on our recent visit to napton. All the food is made freshly to order and service is with a smile and the staff are very helpful too !

Five cycling miles from home I yielded to temptation and called in for an urgently needed drink and cake. Staff friendly and welcoming. Cake excellent. Functional seating outside in the sun. I only glanced around before taking my cake outside, but the array of attractive and quality goods grabbed my attention. Memo to self: put this place on your regular route and investigate the other cakes under their glass covers.

We visited to buy Bacon and ended up spending a small fortune. This shop is full of very good quality goods and stocks just about everything. Also provides coffee and snacks. This was our third visit as we went back again as we were so happy after our first visit. Very useful if you are going past on the Oxford Canal.

Called in for late morning breakfast, husband had a full English , cooked perfectly and I had bacon sandwich which had the freshest bread. Definitely recommended. Also lovely attentive waitress.
