Monks Corner Store

Monks Corner Store is a neighbourhood convenience and takeaway on Hempsted Lane, serving the quiet village of Hempsted on the south-western edge of Gloucester. Hempsted is one of the more characterful of Gloucester's riverside suburbs, bounded by the Severn and the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal, and its community orbits the medieval church of St James the Less nearby. Monks Corner provides the village's food-to-go function alongside its convenience retail offer, covering everyday staples suited to the local population rather than passing trade. The Hempsted Lane location is residential and unhurried, and the store fills a practical role in a village that would otherwise require residents to travel into the city for evening provisions. It is a genuinely local operation whose value lies in proximity and reliability for a small and settled community.
