We choose our suppliers very carefully, firstly to ensure that we only sell produce of the highest quality and secondly so that we promote small, independent companies whose ethos and values match our own.

For example, we are careful to purchase only free range chicken and eggs and we only buy meat which has been reared and killed humanely and, where possible, we will inform our customers of the farm of origin.

As a rule, we also try to promote the best of British food as we believe that there is no reason to go abroad to find some of the world's best produce. We would rather sell lager brewed in Greenwich, brie from Somerset, cured meats from Cumbria, bread freshly baked in London, mineral water from North Wales and ice cream from Suffolk. Relying on British food also helps to cut down on 'food miles'.
