This wasn't the first time I've visited Slee Stores and I'm pleased to say it continues to surprise and delight and many different ways. The Postmaster, Matthew, was both courteous and helpful and his jovial personality gave me a lift as soon as I entered the store.
The range of food and drink was exactly what you'd expect from a local newsagents, but it's the Post Office that is the jewel in the crown of Slee Stores. The efficiency of service, whilst multi-skilling on the newsagent desk was a thing of beauty - how Matthew effortlessly switches from one to the other really is a sight to behold. It literally took me a matter of a minute and a half to send my two parcels. I was offered the choice of both first or second class, which may be expected but is still a lovely touch.
Whilst being served it was hard not to notice the super cakes on offer. Without doubt they are home baked and to say they looked scrumptious would be an understatement. It's this ability to diversify and move with the times which makes Slee stores the premier Post Office to visit in the area. That and the cheap booze.
The only reason that I'm not giving 5 stars is because of a lack of a sign that instructs customers to place all parcels on the weighing scale. But I'm being pedantic - this really is a great place to visit and I look forward to the next time I can sample its wares. read more
