Tom is excellent. Cuts me and my boys hair. My youngest is 6 and is very particular when getting his hair cut. Tom is the one who helps him be comfortable. Tom is well known around Stratton and rightly so.

It is always a pleasure to go here. Graham, Jane and their lovely team are always super helpful and engaging. Fantastic meat and accompanying range of produce. Best butchers in Wiltshire, quite possibly anywhere.
