We would love everything we sell to be local, but we also need to offer our customers choice and year round supplies, so here is our approach to sourcing:
- Our range is built around providing everything our customers might need to create great meals.
- Where we use our own Walsingham label, the product has been made by us.
- We source our products from local suppliers or producers wherever possible and our aim is for at least 75% of our range to come from within Norfolk and 95% within the UK.
- We only stock products that we consider to be excellent quality and will do our best to work with local suppliers to improve local goods rather than buy elsewhere.
- If we cannot find what we need in our immediate area we will spread our net until we find it.
- We will always try and source from the UK first, but in some instances for obvious reasons produce comes from overseas (e.g. olive oil, lemons, bananas).
- We will always focus on providing seasonal products as soon they become available.
- We will make sure we understand the provenance of everything we sell.
- In all cases we will try and work with smaller, local, independent suppliers and producers.
- We believe in natural over artificial.
