or have a similar ethos to our own.

- Raw materials are also of local supply and high quality.
- Products are all handmade as we use people rather than machines.

- As buying direct from the people who make it mean the prices are
competitive.
- Order something and we can make it.

- Small batches therefore homecooked effect.
- Low food miles.
- Staff knowlegable about the products.
