I`m sure you have all seen our Potatoes with Purpose campaign, but do you really know what the impact is?
This campaign, which we are doing with @commofpurpose & @pierre.koffmann , is supporting Community of Purpose`s `Break Free` programme💗
As you can see from the statistics on this post, Break Free has an enormous positive impact on all of the children who attend!
We aren`t just funding activities through the money we raise, we are also ⤵️
-Removing barriers for the children who would otherwise miss out
-Creating shared, positive experiences for families

Meet Owlet 😋
We are now stocking @owletfruitjuice , which are award-winning juices made from fruit which is grown, pressed and bottled all in the Kent countryside🍏
Want to know the story behind the product?
One day, the founder of Owlet, Colin Corfield, was sitting under a pear tree having his lunch, when he noticed he was surrounded by fruit which had fallen, and been left on the ground. He thought to himself… there must be a use for this fruit rather than it rotting on the grass? That is how Owlet juice began💡
They have now been going for 41 years, and create some of the most delicious award-winning juices around!!
We are now stocking 2 10ltr flavours:
🍐 Pear and Ginger Juice (26905)
🍏 Kent Apple Juice (26904)

Together, we have now raised £2,910 with our Potatoes with Purpose campaign😊 💗
We are in partnership with world-renowned chef @pierre.koffmann through @thefoodheroesfamily & @commofpurpose 🤝 🤝
For every pink sack of Koffmann’s Potatoes sold, £1 is donated to Community of Purpose. The money will support their Break Free programme, which provides children in Bristol with meals, activities and support❤️
Let’s work together to continue raising money for this brilliant campaign, we will give another update next month🗓️ 👀

Santa`s Secret Search was a great SUCCESS🤩
Last week, the marketing team put on `Santa`s Secret Search` for everyone at Arthur David!
During the day we would hide 3 Christmas Artichoke stickers around site, and at night the Order Fulfilment managers would hide a further 3 for the night staff…
The race was then on, each sticker gave everyone the chance to win one of the three following prizes:
-A free meal from our onsite food van
-A £20 voucher of their choice
-A box of heroes chocolate
We will be back with an Easter egg hunt in a few months🤫

Cheese is often treated as an afterthought — the final course, the safe option, something familiar🤔
But in the right hands, cheese becomes something far more powerful:
a way to express craft, provenance and confidence — without adding complexity to service🤩
For chefs, the best cheese offering isn’t about having more choice.
It’s about having the right choice…
Have a read through our new article all about how to tell a story using cheese🧀👇
