COVID-19 Safety First Service System

As of September 2020, we have successfully installed a second door as well as other COVID-related renovations. This allows us to have a one way system through the shop and means customers can once again bring their own containers. A big thank you to the North London Waste Authority for funding the refurbishment. 

We will be open: (usual busy hours in brackets)

In order to help us serve you quickly and safely:

  • Feel free to bring your own containers! We also have Paper bags for sale, and a Jar Bank, with clean and free jars ready to use in case you forgot a container.

  • Please wear a face covering

  • Please wash/sanitise your hands before entering the store and after using the weighing station and outdoor cleaning liquid taps - sanitiser will be provided

  • A weighing station will be provided, situated at the front of the queue, please write on the weight of the container so this can be taken off at the end

  • We ask that a maximum of 3 customers are in the shop at any one time. Ideally one person per household: if you need to bring children, this will be easier at our quieter times (as above)

  • Once at the checkout there can be no going back to browse, so please make sure you have all you need.

  • If there are already three customers in the shop, please queue outside until there is space

  • For the returning of glassware (milk bottles, yoghurt pots etc) please keep these with you until you are at the checkout, show them to our staff/volunteers and then pop them in the returns crate on your way out.

Our product list is available online on our Products page. You can check this, make your lists and speed up the process of getting served. We will only be accepting card payments.

We’re excited to welcome to you back into the shop: please follow the rules to help us keep our staff, volunteers and customers safe.

Heres a short video to demonstrate the process of the shop. Enjoy! :D
