We’re CHAMPIONING
regional suppliers
We value our local producers – however small – and the local variety and sense of community their products bring to our shops.
We look for suppliers who offer:
- Very high standards of preparation and the use of quality ingredients
- Provenance and integrity in sourcing. Ingredients should be simple, recognisable and, where possible, sourced from the local region.
- Good presentation with visual appeal and appropriate packaging
- Something different and innovative to complement our existing range
Our local and regional suppliers must also be able to demonstrate they produce safe and legal food to a high quality. Requirements are bespoke to each category so the minimum level of third party certification differs. Our local and regional policy is made available during the on-boarding process.
