Hignetts is a fabulous shop. If you haven't already, try their pies, they are stunning. Don't have the round pies, as they buy those in, but the others, including pork pies, are as good as you will get anywhere. Same with Scotch Eggs; as good as artisan versions at three times the price. Butter buns don't look, or sound, that impressive, but are the ultimate comfort food and everybody who tries one asks me to get more. Bread is excellent too, though nothing fancy - no sourdoughs. Coupled with a really good butcher and greengrocer Hignetts is the soul of the village.
Pontesbury is a wonderful village to live in - great views, walks from the door and all the basic amenities; even our own, tiny, department store. Our dogs love the place and everybody seems to love them.
