Chamber of Commerce Chairman Paul Fudge
welcomes Harry Hawkins of Honiton's
Just Milk & Shakes as a new Chamber Member
Harry Hawkins, a local man from Honiton has made the right MOOOVE and opened up Honiton's first ever self-serve milk and milkshake bar. Paul Fudge, the Chairman of The Chamber of Commerce, was invited to attend the opening of the new shop located in Northcott Lane (EX14 1NH), next to WH Smith and GTH Estate agents.
The owner Harry explained the simple procedure of how to use the Milk filling station using the reusable Glass bottles (which can be purchased from the vending machine) to purchase your Milk or Milkshake. With many amazing flavours to choose from, it's a task to decide which one to go for, explains Harry. We have the favourites such as Chocolate and Strawberry, as well as some more unusual ones such as Black Cherry and Biscotti to name but a few!! With all the nutritional values that milk offers, it makes a great after school treat or a thirst quencher if you're roaming around town!! The Shop also offers yummy hot chocolate and Coffee From Buzz Coffee Roasters.
The shop is completely cashless and purchases can be obtained using the contactless credit card readers.
There are also cups available, if you are wanting a nice cold shake, milk, coffee or hot chocolate before or after work.
Paul Fudge said, ' I am pleased we can welcome new ventures into Honiton, this is a great location and a great way to get youngsters and alike to start drinking more milk. We wish you good luck'
