  • A Surrey food store has scooped the Best Local Shop in the UK award

The prize was awarded to Fanny’s Farm located in Merstham which is well-known for its handmade marmalade.

The creators of the award, Cottages4You accepted votes from local shoppers and holiday makers to find its winner. The prize was £1,000 which the owner, Fanny Maiklem is using to buy new uniforms for her staff.

She told Surrey Today, “So far we have decided on nice rugby shirts to keep them warm and some polo shirts for the summer. The current uniforms have needed replacing for ages and it is time the staff had something new.”

The team will also purchase a new laptop. “We will use the laptop to try and modernise a little,” Mrs Maiklem said. “We have someone who manages our Facebook and Twitter sites but it would be nice to have a go ourselves.”
