Eating and drinking
Before the 1930 boundary changes Stowupland had a choice of s several public houses for drinking but not many for eating. Today we count ourselves lucky to have a choice of two, Crown Inn and The Retreat, both of whom serve meals and drink.

Since this article was printed in 1947 the original Retreat has been demolished and a new hostelry built, whilst the face of The Crown is probably still recognisable but it too has been extended and modernised.
As well as our pubs members can enjoy a tipple at the Sports & Social Club.
For several decades we have had a Fish & Chip shop (though once there were 2), we had a cafe (Nutshells) now the church’s provide an opportunity for local people to enjoy a morning cuppa a couple of mornings a month. We have a chinese take-away and coffee and sandwiches from the local supermarket. ( As of 2024)
