SITE CLOSURE - Nettleham

SITE CLOSURE - updated 4pm, Tuesday 20th May 2025
Our Nettleham Food Store and Post Office remain closed due to a fire at the site, which took place on Thursday 17th April.
We’re working hard to get the services up and running but due to the level of damage, we currently estimate we’ll be closed for approximately four months.
We’re sorry about the inconvenience the closure causes and thank our customers for bearing with us.
We will keep this page updated with the latest news.
Pop-up shop opens Wednesday 21st May
We’ve set up a temporary pop-up shop in the car park of our Nettleham site to give local people access to everyday essentials.
It will be open from 8am until 8pm daily and will start serving customers on Wednesday 21st May.
The shop sells a small range including milk, bread, eggs, fruit and veg, groceries like pasta, rice and tins, household goods, chilled products such as meat, cheese, butter and spreads, as well as confectionary, newspapers, tobacco and vapes.
Currently, it doesn’t sell alcohol due to licensing but we hope to introduce this at a later date.
Shuttle bus service
We are running a free bus to our food store, post office and pharmacy in Welton.
Based on customer use and because our pop-up shop is set to open, we have revised the timetable and from Tuesday 27th May, there will be two morning return trips to Welton each weekday.
The pickup point will on Church Street in Nettleham, opposite The Green, and PC Coaches will run the service. You can download the timetable below.
For any queries regarding the bus please call 01522 544632.
