Carringtons Coffee at Carnforth

Here at BurtonWeb we are coffee lovers, so when we found a new coffee roastery almost on our doorstep we couldn't resist finding out more about it. Suzi and Alex Carrington have set up their roastery on the Keer Park trading estate in Carnforth and sell a range of wonderful coffees. The roastery is now open on Mondays 9am - 2pm.

To buy their coffee you can order online. You can also find them at one of their BOLD coffee shops:

PICK MY POSTCODE

A fun, free-to-play-everyday postcode lottery draw. It really will not cost you a penny. There are multiple draws each day with different cash prizes, and yes they do pay out. No they don't spam you or sell-on your details. It's just fun! Only registered postcodes are entered into the daily draws, so why not add yours and see if you get lucky? Here's our referral link to sign up with.

Over £1million has been won so far, for FREE, since it started in 2011. Here’s a video of Chris at PMP talking about that.
Like most of the internet, Pick My Postcode is funded by advertising.
The “catch” is that you need to check the site daily. This creates ad revenue.
The prizes are relatively small and increase as they can afford them to.
