Several options are available for socialising including the Malt Scoop pub, Lapford Mill café, and several outside spaces for children to play and where events are held. Further out of the village on the A377 is the petrol station with convenience store. For a larger selection of independent shops, bigger supermarkets Crediton is 9 miles away. Nearby is Lapford station, a request stop on the scenic Tarka Line running between Barnstaple and Exeter.
