British food at Waitrose
All Waitrose fresh chicken, beef and pork (including that sold as sausages) venison, duck and goose is British.
British produce is amongst the best in the world
Waitrose always tries to source from Britain when products are in season and at the peak of freshness and flavour.
All Waitrose fresh chicken, beef and pork (including that sold as sausages) venison, duck and goose is British. Most of our lamb is produced in the UK, all of our turkeys come from the UK or Ireland, and 100 per cent of our bacon is English.
We are proud of our British suppliers and forge strong relationships with them founded on trust, fairness and a passion for good food. With a reputation built on the quality and freshness of our food, we are committed to letting people know about the wealth of high quality food available.
Agriculture is an essential part of Britain's heritage. Waitrose believes retailers play a vital role in safeguarding the future of the countryside and the farmers who create it, and we take our responsibilities seriously. Waitrose has set up over 30 livestock producer groups - the only supermarket to do so - giving producers an assured market, clear direction, and a stable base on which to build their businesses and invest in the future.
Other initiatives include inviting local farmers into stores to meet customers, talk about their products and see how it is marketed after leaving the farm. We also run regular workshops to help farmers keep abreast of new techniques and environmental issues. Waitrose also supports LEAF (Linking Environment and Farming), which aims to unite the concerns of farmers, consumers, environmentalists and the government.
