Where possible, we would always recommend supporting your local butcher, fishmonger or greengrocer. This can often ensure that meat, fish and produce is sourced locally, supporting the local farming community and ensuring the product you buy is as fresh as possible.
That said, we completely understand that sometimes this just isn't possible... not all of us have a fantastic local butcher on-hand or even access to a fishmonger. Some items can also be harder to find than others, particularly if you need the perfect cut for that tomahawk steak recipe you've been drooling over, or you just can't get your hands on some octopus tentacles to create that wonderful looking recipe you found on Instagram.
For that reason we have listed a few carefully chosen online partners that will be able to help with all of your ingredient sourcing needs!
Recommended suppliers
Farmison & Co
Farmison & Co was originally the creation of John Pallagi and Lee Simmonds. Restaurateurs by background, they wanted to give home cooks access to the best British produce, ordinarily destined for the top tables of international restaurants. By building a new supply chain working with traditional farmers, they supply better meat direct to your door. Farmison & Co is based in the cathedral city of Ripon, with the lush pastures of the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors on the doorstep.
They source from a network of small, family farms, close to their Ripon base, primarily in the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors. Their farmers are specialists in raising heritage breeds on pasture the old-fashioned way, in balance with the environment. They are always free range, and do not rush animals to market - their herds and flocks grow naturally at their own pace. They give their farmers a fair price they can rely on, to ensure their continued stewardship of the environment.
Wright Bros Ltd
20 years ago Ben & Robin started Wright Brothers with a passion to spread their love of oysters & seafood. From 2002 to 2022, the business has grown quickly & they are now the leading seafood supplier in the UK. Starting with wholesale then restaurants & oyster farming, Ben & Robin have devoted the past two decades building a recognised and reliable brand. Alongside their three London restaurants, they supply to chefs at over 500 restaurants around the UK including Michelin starred chefs who rely on them daily for the finest quality catch.
The pandemic of 2020 momentarily forced them to close the doors to their restaurants but allowed them to focus on launching Wright Brothers At Home. By creating their At Home business their loyal restaurant customers were able to order their favourite fish straight to their door, whilst at the same time they were supporting the fishing community through their toughest year. Two years on, Wright Brothers At Home is thriving, delivering the freshest seafood to customers to enjoy at home with a next day service, around the whole country.
Oddbox
Online greengrocers are a little more hard to come by. But we couldn't miss the opportunity to mention Oddbox.
Back in 2016 Emilie & Deepak tasted a delicious but ever-so-slightly ugly tomato from a market in Portugal. It struck them that they only ever saw identical-looking fruit and veg in our supermarkets, so they did some digging and learnt that around 40% of food produced globally goes to waste.
Why? Either because it’s “too odd” or because growers have “too many”. Since then, they’ve made it their mission to rescue that fruit and veg, at the same time making sure all the energy and water that went into growing it are put to good use.
From humble beginnings with a handful of customers, they now work directly with growers to deliver thousands of boxes every week, with their community growing bigger and stronger every day.
