Backwell Food and Drink
It’s important to stick together in times like this. Many places are now closed following government advice – while we are trying to keep the information below updated, it is best to call ahead to check. Some local businesses are offering their own ways to help local residents, and it’s important that we can help support the local economy, too. To echo the Parish Council: “local Backwell shops are uniquely positioned to serve your needs from groceries to take out meals and most deliver and already do. It’s safe to say shop local – phone them to see what they can offer.”
