There is another small shop near the centre which sells freshly made food and a small selection of groceries. There is also the Millhouse Institute, a village hall that plays host to small events and has a crown green bowling square and tennis court at the rear. There is also a pub, the Blacksmiths and further out from the centre are Windmill Nurseries and Avid Farm Shop which both have cafes.
