Weather forecast is looking great 😎. These bootsales are always very well attended, so get your car loaded, set your alarm clock and get your stall set.
We’ve also got our alarm set and will be there so you can treat yourself to a sweet treat for a good mornings takings - or bargains purchased!

We’re really looking forward to Sunday’s Car Boot!!! Hope you are too!!!

First free event of the year organised by our fantastic town council team. Weather is looking great, so hopefully see you there 😎.

There have been some issues with emails bouncing back when people have been trying to get in touch, the address looked ok but I’ve retyped it so hopefully it’ll work 😁

WE NEED MORE STAFF! £14.50 per hour + bonuses or generous commission (all payed via BACS).

We either need someone full time, or a few people part time (loads of our team do an odd day around their full time job).
We are looking for people that are good with children, can interact with the public and drive a ‘transit’ sized van.
No experience is necessary and full training will be given. You will have to be able to operate basic apps on our vans tablets.

We run daily until the end of October and you will be operating on our local established and licensed rounds. We also cover most local events.

Weekdays hours would be (extra hours available in warm weather) 2pm-7pm
Weekends 12pm-8pm

We work a rota every month and fit all our staff on what suits them (you send us the dates that work for you). Many of our drivers do 1 or 2 days per week around their full time job to supplement their income.

Vans are cleaned and stocked daily. You turn up at our unit on the industrial estate and the van is ready to go!

What we are looking for:
- Reliable and honest people.
- People that are good with the public (especially children).
- Someone that will keep the van clean and have good hygiene standards.
- Be confident driving a transit size van.
- You must be able to use basic apps on the vans tablet for payments, orders and maps.
- You will need to complete a food hygiene course (we will pay for course).
- You will need to pass a DBS check (we will cover costs).
- You will need to be over 25 (minimum age for insurance, no maximum).

We are a small local family run business that has been trading for 27 years locally. It really is a fun job and is also really rewarding. Most of our current team have been with us for at least 5 years and love their job.

If you are interested, please send your CV as well as contact details to Sarah at: [email protected]

After a year unable to source oyster shells, there is now a new manufacturer making them, so they are back permanently on the vans 😀.

Hi all, this is Nathan.
So, for 27 years, we have had the pleasure of serving you and your children (it does make me feel old when I'm working and you tell your children I used to serve you at their age).
Over this last year, we have unfortunately encountered much abuse and harassment on School Lane, which feels like it is pointed towards one specific member of staff by a small group of parents completely unnecessarily.
If you have any complaints or grievances, please feel free to message or phone my personal number on 07971187962. I will always listen to any concerns.
If you feel uncomfortable speaking to me, we are licensed by West Suffolk Council. The phone number for licensing is 01284 758050, the email address is [email protected].
I am confident that we trade legally and within our licenses.
What I will not tolerate is personal attacks on my staff. Bringing up past traumas and being vindictive is not acceptable!
We have this year fitted CCTV to all vans. We have contacted both the council and Burton End primary about our concerns.
Our next step will be to involve the police.
It saddens me to have to post this over the actions of a minority.
Moving forwards, we look forwards to serving many of you this season.
See you soon,
Nath
