GURNARD POST OFFICE

Post OfficeThe Sub-Post Office branch in the Village survived at least 2 attacks on its future, most recently at the very end of 2003 when Post Office Ltd. lumped it in with the Cowes Sprawl, and declared its intention to close it as it wasn’t needed. Local opinion, fortunately, changed the Company’s mind!

However, the branch's future was doomed!

Jane Barnard was the last Postmistress at the Branch, but she decided that the time had come in March 2005 to retire. Unfortunately no replacement could be found and so the branch was temporarily closed. It has remained "temporarily" closed ever since and it is likely that Post Office Ltd will never open up another branch in the Village with Northwood now being the closest. The original premises were sold off, and the "Two Fishes Delicatessen" now operates from the site.

RATSEY'S LARDER (Formerly Two Fishes Delicatessen)

As mentioned above under "Gurnard Post Office", the Two Fishes Delicatessen has now replaced the empty shop that formerly housed the Village Post Office. It is proving to be very popular, not only in the Village but also from the surrounding area with many folk making special trips.  

This is because the proprietor stocks some real delicacies, not often found elsewhere. There is currently a Premises Licence application in the system (2007) and there are plans, if the application is approved, to introduce a a more suitable small seating decked area for tables and chairs in front of the shop.

A very special range of food produce and alcoholic drinks is available.
