UK and Local Grown Seasonal Produce
As one ‘Sustainable Food’ report noted, Seasonal food can offer better taste and be more affordable, while local food can provide freshness, reduce food miles, offer benefits to local farmers and communities and help reconnect consumers with where their food comes from. Local foods support your local economy: every pound spent generates twice as much income for the local economy.
85% of the ingredients we use are local produce, a further 12% are from rest of the UK and 3% are from other European countries.
