Our parish is home to a number of wonderful local businesses that contribute to village life and offer a range of services for residents and visitors alike.
A much‑loved family‑run farm shop offering a fantastic selection of fresh local produce, fruit, vegetables and quality meats. Their in‑house butcher prepares a variety of fresh cuts, sausages and burgers, with the shop also stocking local cheeses, breads, cider, wines and other seasonal items. In summer, you can join in the popular ‘Pick Your Own’ fruit experience direct from the fields.
Visit for fresh food and local flavours just minutes from the village centre.

A community café currently operating from a small cabin in the village, serving great coffee, light lunches and homemade treats. The café has quickly become a welcoming stop for neighbours and walkers alike, and plans are underway to expand into the larger space next door once available. This will offer additional seating and menu options. Residents are invited to support this growing local spot and watch this space for news of its expansion.
Our local village pub, nestled on Faussett Hill, provides a warm and friendly place to relax with food, drink and good company. Known for its welcoming atmosphere and selection of ales, lagers and classic pub fare, The Granville regularly hosts community events, quiz nights and seasonal menus — making it a great hub for socialising in Lower Hardres.
