The everyday fruit, veg, salad and herbs that you desire are at the top of our list, its where we started 60 years ago. We ensure your staples are the freshest and most flavoursome is our bread and butter, so to speak – so leave it with us.

Cobrey Farms produce the finest English grown Asparagus; amongst other seasonal products such as Rhubarb, Blueberries and Fine Beans. They believe that consistency and attention to detail are key to their hugely successful crops – they can trace every sprout back to the field it grew in, what it was fed and who’s hands harvested it. They are best known for having the first Asparagus of the season – a gift on any menu.

As a family run, and second generation business ourselves we understand the love and dedication it takes from the whole family to keep the wheels turning. Warren’s Fruit Farm enjoys three generations of the founding family working side by side as they produce their juicy and flavourful strawberries year round. We are pleased to receive deliveries daily from them of fruits picked just that morning thanks to us being practically neighbours in Somerset.

Elevate your menu with Arthur David’s exceptional selection of fruits and vegetables

Pied De Mouton Mushrooms

Pied de Mouton mushrooms have a delicate, nutty flavour with a slightly sweet undertone, often described as mild and earthy; they are known for their firm texture and are considered a prized wild mushroom, perfect for adding depth to dishes like soups, stews, and risottos without overpowering other ingredients.

Sanguinelli Blood Oranges

Known for their deep red flesh with a distinctive raspberry-like flavour, originating from Spain and considered one of the best blood orange varieties due to their intense colour and sweet taste.

Cime Di Rapa

Cime di rapa has a slightly bitter, peppery flavour with a hint of sweetness, often described as a combination of broccoli and turnip greens, making it a robust and distinctive leafy green in Italian cuisine; its taste is best enhanced when sautéed with garlic and chili flakes.

Trompette Mushrooms

A Trompette has a rich and complex flavour, with earthy and nutty undertones that deepen as it cooks. When prepared, it brings a pleasantly chewy texture that enhances any dish with a natural, umami-filled taste.

Romanesco

Beautiful lime green Romanesco is somewhere between broccoli and cauliflower in flavour and you can generally substitute it for either. It has a nuttier, sweeter edge and is rich in fibre, vitamin C and antioxidants. Best paired with strong flavours, including Olives, Anchovies, Paprika, Mustard, Capers and boldly flavoured cheeses.

Crown Prince Squash

A Crown Prince Squash has a sweet, nutty flavour with a creamy texture, often described as having a honey-like depth, thanks to its bright orange flesh contrasting with its silvery-grey skin; it’s considered a great choice for roasting due to its dense flesh that holds its shape well when cooked.

Be it thick white sliced to sandwich fish goujons and lashings of tartare or the sauces and syrups, pistoles and pastry you need to create the perfect dessert, speciality breads or ready to bake basics, we want you to have all you ‘knead’ (sorry!) – leave it with us.

We have been working with our two main suppliers of breads for over 10 years. This is because our ethos and approach is mirrored by both incredible companies. We receive fresh, artisan bread and Sourdough from Hobbs House Bakery based in the Cotswolds. Hobbs House recently celebrated 100 years of baking and still use many of the same processes that were taught to their founders. Still made by hand by skilled bakers, you can not only see the difference, you can taste it.

Likewise Margate based Speciality Breads pride themselves on the simplicity of bringing together traditional baking techniques and ingredients with modern food trends. They only use the best raw, carefully sourced ingredients, flour from family millers and local rapeseed oil. Speciality Breads allow us to offer frozen breads that tastes just as good fresh.

Our love of cold meats, smoked fish and antipasti keeps us constantly refreshing and topping up our deli options. Whether its ready to eat or ready to prep’ we’ve sourced deli items from the far flung farms of Europe and deepest, darkest Dorset, all to compliment your menus – leave it with us.

Award winning supplier of smoked and cured meats, Taste of the Lakes, incredibly still uses many Saxon traditions for smoking products. They source as many ingredients within a 30 mile radius of their production site as is possible and take such pride in their products and their service that we consider them a truly choice partner.

While some of our partners draw on practises of the past in the UK others brought their techniques with them from the continent. The Real Olive Company became our primary olive supplier in 2020 when our partnership blossomed over 100% recyclable packaging, their proximity to us in Bristol and of course the passion with which they produce the finest olives, bursting with mediterranean sunshine!
