 General.
Although Sandwich is
only a small town, it is surprisingly well appointed with numerous local
businesses catering for the needs of local residents, the enormous work
force at Pfizer, and tourists alike. Whatever you want or need, there is
a good chance you will find it available in town, or not far away.
Local
Services
From acupuncture to yachting supplies, everything from the
mundane to the exotic, for you, your family, your pets
and even your car.
Shops
Shopping
in Sandwich is a real pleasure. The unhurried pace and lack of
jostling crowds encourage a relaxing visit. The numerous galleries, gift
and antique shops often yield that elusive unusual present or
souvenir. The assistants are often owners too, with a real knowledge of
their wares and are helpful advisors. Some of the smaller shops are run
single-handed, and the old tradition of lunch time closing and early
closing on Wednesday is observed by many. Everyday needs are
amply provided by the quaint little specialist stores, small
supermarkets and farm shops. Late night convenience store shopping
up to 10.00pm is available in Ash and Sandwich . Thursday sees the weekly
morning Market, which includes WI produce stalls, and lively auctions from
the Quayside sale rooms. If you want large chain
stores and big brand names then Canterbury is just 25 mins by car, and the
huge discount Designer Outlet, McArthur Glen at Asford is 40mins while
Dover's de Bradelei Wharf factory outlet stores are 15 mins. |
