Where do we source our ingredients?

Jul 9, 2013
Posted by: Ben

One of the most common questions we are asked is regarding our ingredients and where we source them from.

What goes into our plans is obvilously vitally important to our clients and therefore to us.

Meat –

All our meat is sourced via a lovely butcher in Dulwich called William Rose. They are a soil association registered butcher that has been operating since 1862 and famed for their ethical sourcing and across the board quality.

Fish –

We take our guidance from Greenpeace on how we source sustainable fish, they say:

“In simple terms, a particular seafood is sustainable if it comes from a fishery with practices that can be maintained indefinitely without reducing the target species' ability to maintain its population and without adversely impacting on other species within the ecosystem by removing their food source, accidentally killing them, or damaging their physical environment.”

We follow thiis advice and also make sure that we don’t use fish that are on the Greenpeace unsustainable list

Fruit and Vegetables

This is a daily challenge and requires early starts and intelligent haggling! We shop around for quality foremost as it varies wildly from day to day and supplier to supplier. We do not guarantee organic as standard but can discuss this if required. Quality is our first thought.

Health and exotic foods

SMBS Foods in Dulwich

SMBS Foods is a great contact for us as the owners really know the market and source great quality Gluten Free and specialist food stuffs.

Other dried goods

We use a lovely old firm in Hertfordshire called John Mower for our spices and dried goods. They have been around a long time and the MD has been there since 1974 so they have some good loyalty. Amazingly they are not on the web which I think adds to their charm no end.

These details are subject to change without warning as we are committed to quality first and foremost.
