Chale Green Stores
a real village shop for the Island
It seems that hardly a week
goes by without the opening of
another speciality food retailer….
farm shop, deli, butcher, etc... all
promising to bring you something
new, something fresh, something
local. How will they all prosper,
especially in still difficult
economic times?
Building upon the belief that
Islanders are expecting more
from their food shops, Chale
Green Stores’ approach is to offer
convenience with a difference,
focusing on service as well as
products. The large and well
laid out shop displays everything
from bread and milk to more
unusual and hard to find items.
With friendly staff giving a very
personal brand of service, it is
the hub of the village and, with
its now reopened Post Office, the
perfect place to meet friends! An

extensive wine shop with over
200 labels makes a visit well
worthwhile. The shop is open
from 8am to 7pm daily.
The Café, open 9am to
5pm daily, offers breakfasts,
morning coffees, light lunches,
and afternoon teas, all freshly
prepared from items on sale in
the shop and deli. On sunny
days, sit in the colourful garden
and enjoy expansive downland
views. The Deli boasts one of
the largest cheese ranges on the
Island, and many customers enjoy
the unique, pour your own olive
oil and speciality vinegar stand.
So why not take a ride over and
see for yourself what makes Chale
Green Stores a real village shop,
for the whole Island!
