A message from the venue:
The provenance of our ingredients means a great deal to us. Of course, we want them to be the finest & freshest available, but we also want to know that they are from suppliers with integrity.
That’s why we source fish from suppliers dedicated to promoting sustainability & minimising food miles. The butchers we use can trace every link in their supply chain back to the farm. Our cheese comes from artisan makers in the UK who are passionate about their craft.
Wherever possible, our chefs use fruit & vegetables from British growers. Even our tea & coffee is supplied by importers who are as committed to the welfare of the growers as they are to the quality of the product.
POSTERS
There is an impressive selection of posters displayed for your perusal in the Atrium, please take the time to visit the exhibition.
The prize for the best poster will be announced before the lunch break.
