We have introduced additional hygiene precautions during Covid-19. We are operating on a 1 customer in at a time basis and ask everyone else waits in the garden at a minimum of 2 metres until called. Servers are wearing masks and aprons and following personal hygiene and social distancing guidance at all times. Customers must wash their hands on entering the shop, and servers wash hands between each customer. We are taking card payments only.

About Flo’s Refill Shop:
Our aim is to help local people to reduce plastic waste at the same time as investing in local community initiatives. The money raised through Flo’s Refill Shop will go towards supporting our community projects.
We sell unpackaged staple foods from Infinity Foods and SESI refill detergents (for washing dishes, clothes and humans) and some environmentally sound baby products. Our products are sold by weight or volume, which means you can buy exactly what you want, and bring back the empty container for more!
