Local Products
Wherever possible we try to source products locally, this is not only good for local businesses but also reduces the number of miles that the food has to travel - good for the food and for the environment.
Obviously it is not possible to source everything locally but we hope to stock more and more local products. If you know of local producers supplying quality foodstuffs that we don't already stock please let us know so that we can check them out.
Below are some of our suppliers:
Richard Golsby Butchers
1A Mill Street, Eynsham Tel 01865 881219
We buy most of our fresh meat from Richard, our local butcher, (very local, the shops are opposite one another), because we know that he sources his quality meat locally and knows how to store and prepare it. If you're coming to visit the deli, why not buy your meat in the village too and save even more miles.
