This won some sort of retailer of the year award a few years ago in connection with the Post…read moreOffice, and it's fairly good. There's a large grocery store to the front which is handy as it's a fairly small village, and a good enough sized Post Office to the rear. They seem to be quite professional in there - uniformed staff who know what they're talking about, and I've never had to queue for too long to be served. It's just a couple of minutes off the M180 so quite handy if you need to get to the PO on the move. It's on the main road through to Epworth, and there's enough parking at the front.

East Common Post Office & KeyStore is located on Barwic Parade opposite Barwic Parade School, on…read morePetre Avenue. The Post Office and KeyStore convenience store and newsagents has recently changed hands, much to applause of the local community. The new owners are family run and are friendly and polite. The store is in the middle of updating. The new owner ran Better Butties on Denison road that had a great reputation for quality take-away hot and cold snacks and sandwiches. Within the Post Office & KeyStore there are two Post Office counters; a fair sized general store, with freezer cabinets and fridges for fresh food. Hot pies and pasties are sold at lunchtime with the introduction of Hot sandwiches and salads in the future.

This is a hit&miss Post Office. I've used it many dozens of times and sometimes I came away feeling…read morequite pleased that I'd been served well, other times I vowed never to return (until the following day at least!). It's inside a large newsagents so if you've got kids with you be prepared for lots of 'I want, I want' as it's full of sweets and toys. There are often large queues, which aren't helped by the fact that the staff seem to spend quite a lot of time talking to each other rather than serving. Not always, but enough times that it becomes an annoyance for regular users. Bizarrely, the nearest Post Box is a few hundred yards down the road, so either hand letters in over the counter or take a bit of a walk after you've bought your stamps! If you're an Ebayer in the area, I'd much sooner recommend taking a trip out to Scawby where the service is absolutely excellent and can't be faulted in any way.

One of the post office counter staff is particularly rude and offensive, my wife has experienced…read morethis on several occasions but yesterday it was so offensive I will be writing a formal letter of complaint. I hasten to add that this is only one person but just hope you are not unlucky enough for her to be free when it is your turn to be served !

This is handy for people who're in the town centre but if you're looking to stop there in the car…read moreit can be a bit hit & miss as the parking on the main road can be difficult to get into. It's small but quite spacious inside, and it's all spotlessly clean and tidy. Staff are very friendly and professional, and on the three occasions I've been there they've always been chatty, probably because I've always been lucky and never had to queue! There isn't a massive selection of stuff to buy but there are the usual cards, postal supplies etc.

A lovely little town/village post office with friendly and professional service…read more Postal supplies such as postal boxes, padded envelopes, postcards and greetings cards are all available, as are a range of Epworth branded cards, ideal for tourists, intersted in the Wesley link. Parking outside is limited and can, on occasions, be very busy. The only time I've had to wait a long time in a queue was when a coachload of American tourists were visiting, buying souvenirs and postcards.
