The recently installed, ‘refill station’ has been a massive hit with customers and provides an additional income revenue but also confirms The Orchards commitment to offer alternatives and doing their bit for the environment. The home delivery and pre order service are popular for older members of the community and busy professionals.  Also offering hampers, cheese boards and different types of gifts through the year.
