Our homemade cakes including old Hopleys faves
Strawberries & cream

There are at least 10 lovely gardens open and proceeds go to Friends of Much Hadham Parish Church (we will be donating any profits to this excellent cause)

Here are some of the cakes we have delivered in the last week, and if you have a friend or family member you think may need / deserve cake then CALL 01920 449292

Hello everyone,
It has certainly been the most surprising and topsy turvy week and I hope that you are all coping. I didn't imagine three weeks ago that we would have a team busy packing fruit & veg and meat boxes, making our comfort food prepared meals and icing cakes to deliver. It's been a learning curve of organisation and mobilisation, but actually it's been fun as well and really good to be busy and of use to the community.
A word of thanks to Maz, Jemima (happy 20th birthday today!) and Mollie who are all amazing and have a fantastic community spirit and are working so hard!
Next week we will be changing the menu and hopefully putting on a couple of "specials" (time permitting) so keep and eye on our website - https://www.copleysfood.co.uk/food-home-delivery-service - for info as well as here on our page.

Before I go I just want to reassure you of a couple of things
We still have fresh produce being delivered regularly
We will make sure that anyone in real need is helped and that we will make time to get food / provisions out to you
times may be tricky but we are still aiming to provide the best possible service we can
Thank you very much for all your lovely messages, I've always said we have the best customers and you have proved it this week. Don't forget to keep eating cake!
Fiona and the Copleys team x

.... and the boxes are looking really good. We’ve stuffed them full of great supplies to keep you going 😋. They’ve gone down very well. So pleased.

25/03/2020

We had such a lovely day getting meals and boxes out to our customers. It was long yet most rewarding to see and catch up with you all albeit from a distance.
This situation is proving a lot to cope with for many and the strength and resilience being shown is inspiring.
I could not have got through these past few days without the support, love and laughter shown by Team Copley : Maz, Jemima & Marylin. Thank you so very much for being out there, helping during this tough time. It’s not been easy.
Love to you all. Stay safe.
