Ethical Soucing

It really matters to us where your food comes from

We work tirelessly with our suppliers and in tandem with each of our clients to ensure the food and ingredients we serve are not only fresh and delicious, but also ethically sourced. Below are just a few examples to give you an idea of our appoach to sourcing key ingredients:

• Chicken and eggs
  At Leeming Pilkington, both the chicken and egg come first - each one of our chickens comes from a 'happy home' and all our eggs are free range.
• Meat
  Our meat is mainly sourced from accredited suppliers who are routinely inspected by specialists to ensure they are meeting the highest standards of animal welfare and food preparation.
• Fish
  We aim to use well-managed, sustainable fisheries, and regularly use delicious alternatives to threatened species.
• Salad, vegetables and fruit
  We promote fresh and seasonal organic salads, vegetables and fruits, locally sourced where possible and carefully grown to minimise their environmental impact.
• Tea
  Our main Tea supplier is The London Tea Company, which not only provides organic, Fairtrade teas, but is also carbon neutral.
• Coffee
  We offer a range of Fairtrade coffee beans and blends, and use a Hertfordshire-based coffee roaster who has developed beneficial, long-term partnerships with farmers and cooperatives in Costa Rica, Guatamala and Peru.
• Milk
  We promote British organic milk that is naturally higher in nutrients than non-organic versions.
