🍪 Pink Wafers are back on top!

North Walsham’s community pantry has spoken — and the numbers are clear:

Whether it’s the crunch, the nostalgia, or just that perfect level of sweetness, these little treats flew off the shelves faster than anything else.

So if you’re after a snack that’s earned its crown, make sure to pop in and grab a pack before they disappear again!
