Pre-Orders and Walking Shop Home Deliveries
  • Did you know you can save time, make sure you get what you need and let us do the legwork for you?
  • Pre-order your shopping and our team will pick and pack it for you.
  • You just pay the invoice online (really easy and secure) and then pop by to collect.
  • If you are isolating or otherwise need help getting your shopping to you we can organise a home delivery by our Walking Shop volunteers.
Here's the general process for pre-ordering -
  • Our Orders Volunteer Team work on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings - please contact them between 9am and 12. 
  • Orders will be prepared for delivery or collection on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays
  • Email deliveries.talkingshop@gmail.com

  • It's always helpful to have your order in advance so we can make sure we have what you need.
  • We definitely need two days' notice for perishables - fruit & veg, Cornfields bread and Sandford Sourdough, milk, creams, yoghurts - so that we can include your requests in our orders to the suppliers
  • We order meat from Coopers' Oxford pork and Waterperry Farm Shop early in the week so send us your meat requests by Monday morning. They deliver on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. We often have some stock in the freezer too, so do ask.
  • We can add longer life items that we hold on the shelves - eggs, tins, dried foods, crisps, tea, coffee etc - on the day you're getting your order if we have the items in stock. For larger quantities please let us know in advance.
  • Any questions please just email the team - deliveries.talkingshop@gmail.com or call the shop 07305 307421
  • THANK YOU!
