About The Pantry
The Pantry was set up in 2014 in what used to be the St Briavels Butcher’s shop. Since then there have been several sets of owners/managers. When the most recent decided to leave at the end of December 2020 the Parish Council set up a working group to consider how the shop could be secured for the long term.
Some dedicated local residents got themselves together into a committee, and with an initial grant of £2000 from the Parish Council they formed a Community Benefit Society to take over the shop.
Any enterprise like this has initial startup costs, such as the purchase of stock and assets. With the generous help of the previous owners and a timely grant of £8000 from the St Briavels Wind Turbine fund, the CBS was able to get the shop onto a firm footing early in 2021.
