Some residents will already be familiar with the many types of food vans which make their way through the village. In recent years the sight of both ASDA and Tesco home delivery vehicles has increased as people find little time to make it to the supermarkets, instead relying on online ordering.
But it’s not just the big name food stores that ply a trade to Pencaitland and other nerby villages. We have regular visits from the Fish van, a fish and chip van and occasionally the sound of the Luca’s Ice Cream van can be heard in the distance too.
Now a new vendor is adding Pencaitland as a regular stop.
