Being a small business ourselves we support local businesses and suppliers wherever we can. Obviously our butchers is very important to us!

Bakers
John Dwyer Bakery - Baking with Modern skill & Traditional Principle. With over 20 years of continuous growth, this family bakery supplies us with a range of bakery products but most importantly our "large soft white pig roast roll" - we're told he has a bed now but in the early days John Dwyer regularly slept under the ovens between producing, baking, packing and delivering to the customers!
All his bread is made fresh daily with staff with over 200 years of collective baking experience.
Cheese
Having featured in the Great Food Leicestershire & Rutland Magazine - we were tipped off by the editor to use a great Cheese supplier in Melton Mowbray, The Melton Cheeseboard - Tim Brown now supplies us with the most amazing cheeses - not only is he passionate about cheese, he's passionate about using local dairies and most of his cheese comes from the Long Clawson dairy in the next village.
So whether it's for one of his amazing cheese stack cakes or a more traditional cheeseboard - a stinking bishop stilton or more contemporary ginger and mango blend white stilton - he's our man!
Anything else you want to know about our suppliers - just ask.
