In addition the Parish Council has been made aware of the following organisations, shops and businesses who offer home deliveries. We have not been able to check them all out but they may provide good alternatives to the main supermarkets bearing in mind how difficult it seems sometimes to be able to get a delivery slot. This is a continually changing scene!
Hampshire Fare On Line Shopping

Some of them have made a direct approach.
Delivery and Takeaway Services in the New Forest
Click the above link for details of New Forest businesses who are offering delivery and takeaway services. The towns and villages in the New Forest are home so some fantastic takeaways and restaurants that offer takeaway as a daily service, including cuisines from all around the world such as, Indian, Italian, Thai, Chinese and loads more. However, during the COVID-19 period of social distancing and self-isolation, many other businesses across the Forest have made some creative diversifications from their normal business operations and are now offering takeaway and delivery services to local residents, from hot meals to food boxes including fruit, veg, meat, cheese and more. So whether you are unable to get out, or simply want a break from cooking and treat yourself to a meal, you can take advantage of a variety of restaurants and pubs offering a takeaway and delivery service from their menu, and enjoy their delicious food from the comfort of your own home! There are also businesses in the forest who are offering delivery of essential food and drink, including milk, bread, eggs, fruit and vegetables.
