Fresh meat and poultry delivered daily
Our local supply partners have been carefully chosen for a number of reasons.
They operate in the local area; they are independent, family owned and operated; they all care about what they produce and/or sell; and they have a vested personal interest in customer service and how they do business.
We choose our partners by meeting face to face, discussing how we will work together and support each other, now and in to the future.
Sustainability
We do everything we can to minimise waste and reduce our carbon footprint.
- Seasonality – when in season we use UK produce which means our ingredients are fresh and delicious, whilst supporting local farmers and reducing our carbon footprint.
- Waste Reduction – we order efficiently, use a ‘just in time’ system where appropriate and train our teams to monitor production and post-production to ensure food isn’t wasted.
- Energy Efficiency – our teams are trained to save energy and to conserve water in our business.
- Carbon Footprint – we use technology to reduce our carbon footprint, we keep our travel to a minimum and by 2025 we promise that all our company vehicles will be electric/hybrid.
