News from Hungerford’s Independent Shops & Businesses – August 2022

Hungerford is famous for its independent shops and businesses which make the High Street worth a visit.

Inklings

This month our window highlights our need for bees and as the hot weather continues and we have lots of gifts and toys for the summer. From paddling pools and water toys, to jigsaws and craft kits for when it’s too hot to go outside we can help. Pop in and see us.
 
As always, we have a great choice of gifts to go with them. Whether you are looking for a gift for a wedding, birthday or any other occasion pop in and have a look.
 

Grapesmith, Barrs Yard

Summer OfferGianni Tessari Soave Classico Scalette 2021 10% OFF until the end of August – now £15.12 (was £16.80).

Soave managed to get itself a bad name as Italians have always kept the top quality Soave Classico for themselves, only exporting bland Gargenega wine from the valley floors.

Well, this is absolutely top-notch Soave Classico, from a single vineyard, facing south on the side of the Scalette hill. Made from hand-harvested Gargenaga and Trebbiano grapes, ripe tropical flavours overlay a lithe minerality.

A must-try wine to enjoy with risotto or fried fish, or just treat yourself to glass as an aperitif. 

We are open 10am to 5pm Monday to Saturday and every day we deliver wine locally in our trusty Van Rouge. So why not treat yourself, go to our website grapesmith.co.uk and order by midday for free same day delivery on 12 bottles or more.

West Berkshire Injury Clinic

When you’re in pain, you may find that you’re willing to try almost anything to get it to stop. But the truth is, not everything works, medications can create an unhealthy habit, home treatments can take a long time, or not work at all. Surgery can keep you bedridden for weeks, not to mention the possibility of leaving lasting damage.

See details here about how our new Shockwave therapy provides benefits for pain, inflammation, and immobilit.

Our Hungerford Clinic (opposite the Borough Arms) provides treatment and rehabilitation for a wide range of conditions and injuries, women’s health, vocal conditions as well as support during cancer treatment and dietetics.

Please contact us for a friendly chat to see how we can help you.
