Shop & Buy Local...

 

Of course we all want to shop and buy local, as has been encouraged by Love Hastings (website), and also by Hastings Borough Council, but I fear for local businesses, not just shops and artisans, but hairdressers, pubs, bars, restaurants, and many other local businesses. I added such a comment to a post on a social media page, and was informed that many businesses are delivering or providing click & collect, as I discussed in a recent blog that included The Jolly Fisherman. 

These were the businesses I was informed of: Soak, Mame's Place, Red Gallery, Warp & Weft, Butler & George, Courthouse Cooperative, Reste, and my thanks to Soak for that information, cheers!

If anyone wishes to add about other local businesses offering similar services during these strange times please feel free to add about them in comments and I will include any I am told about in a future blog (providing they are legal, of course 😉)

Jolly Fisherman and Drinks Collection...

Passing The Jolly Fisherman earlier, and I espied all those very interesting looking bottles in the window! So I investigated, as one does, and saw that they don't only deliver on Fridays (see my earlier blog), but you can collect from there at certain times on Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays; either ordering in advance for Click & Collect or Friday delivery (website) and they are open for off sales, hours:

6-8 pm Thursday

4-7 pm Saturday

1-3 pm Sunday

So, this afternoon, and you still have a couple of hours to shop there today!

Great service during the Coronavirus Crisis from this local bar, cheers folks!


Many thanks for information in the comments Roy! 👍
