You don't have to be an allotment holder to shop at the Hut, but you do have to be a member of the Association. Membership costs just £5 for a calendar year, and you can get your membership card at the Hut on Sunday morning upon payment of the fee. Do support the hut - you'll probably save more than the membership fee on your very first purchase! And as a bonus the WWAA has a reduced entry card (30% reduction on normal entry cost) for RHS Gardens, this card is kept at the shop and is available to all plot holders.
