New Shopping Hours and Deliveries

Yesterday morning, I saw a well spaced queue outside the greengrocers - they didn't have any produce displayed outside and the staff (I'm not sure who was in there - I couldn't see up the steps) were collecting the orders and bringing them to the door. However, they've decided that this isn't really working, so they are going to delivery only. They are asking for people to phone up to 5pm the day before they want the delivery, or to choose a day to suit them, from Tuesday to Saturday.

Geraldine Like has been working hard to sort out delivery routes too, for Gibbons' Butchers. Details can be found on the Hay Community Facebook page and also www.hayonwye.info which is collecting all the local information in one place.
Pughs/Londis have new opening hours - from Monday to Saturday they will be open from 7am to 2pm and on Sundays 8am to 12 noon.
The Three Tuns has decided not to continue with a takeaway service.
Shepherds Ice Cream are offering a delivery service with a minimum order of 4 tubs.

The Co-op is offering a priority hour for vulnerable customers and those who care for them. This is 8am to 9am from Monday to Saturday and 10am to 11am on Sunday.

Further out from Hay itself, the Three Horseshoes in Velindre, the Honey Café in Bronllys, and the Old Barn at Three Cocks are doing takeaways.
Talgarth Mill is open for takeaways, bread and flour.
The Londis at Bronllys Garage is open as usual.
The Anchorage Caravan site is keeping the launderette open, and also calor gas sales.
Hay and Talgarth vets are asking for customers to phone ahead for repeat prescriptions and pet food.
The Castle Fish Bar in Talgarth is hoping to set up a delivery service.

Drover Cycles is one of the essential services which are allowed to stay open during the lockdown. They have closed their café, and have decided to be open only by appointment - customers should phone ahead or email to arrange for essential repairs to be done, to collect pre-ordered goods (no browsing in the shop), and to collect a hire bike. Normally they charge £35 for a day's hire, but they are extending this so that £35 will pay for a week's hire. The minimum hire term is two weeks. They can deliver if the customer cannot collect for any reason. They can also offer technical support by phone or email or video call.
