How it began
A shop that still carries his name
Neville Gagen established the business in Gorefield in 1939. More than eighty years on, the shop on High Road still carries his name.
It has stayed a family business: somewhere people in the village, and from around Wisbech, call in for their meat and their baking, and know they’ll be served by someone who can tell them about it.
