Our local farm shop and deli, The Gog, is also levelling up its shopping options by introducing a delivery service, plus local cake maker extraordinaire Afternoon Tease has returned when we needed her most with cake boxes (available from Vanderlyle restaurant, order via Tock) that feature her chocolate Guinness cake, brownies, cheese scones and carrot cake.
