Fippenny News was the first customer in Okeford Fitzpaine’s new tearoom. It’s a bright and cheerful space at the back of the shop and even has a small garden area.

Vince has spent four months of lockdown transforming a previously derelict area area which now offers teas, coffees and home made cakes baked by the legendary Robert Corben.

You’ll also find old photos of the village on the walls. It will be a useful meet up venue for locals as well as a handy pit stop for walkers and cyclists. The tearoom is open during shop hours.
