| Luscombe is a small producer from the depths of Devon. A very well kept secret, quietly making soft drinks and juices since 1997, accruing awards and gaining esteem. Now supplying most of the biggest names in Hotels, Restaurants and Food shops. Proudly stubborn in that we do not supply multiple retailers and are fastidious in our choice of ingredient and juices. You will notice Luscombe is not oversweet. You will notice that they are full in flavour. We don’t use anything that should not be there. You won’t notice the additives, enhancers and bubbles the size of toad’s eyes – as at Luscombe we don’t use them. This matters because the end result is balanced, nothing sticks out other than the feeling that it is right ... real neurotic attention to detail. |

| Cornish Blue Cheese started Looking for ways to diversify their farm business and add value to their own milk, Philip and Carol Stansfield spotted the gap in the market for a young, blue cheese that could compete with imported blue cheeses. Designed to be eaten as a young cheese, Cornish Blue is a very different product from traditional English blue cheeses such as Stilton or Dorset Blue. Recognising that the climate and location of their farm were ideal for artisan cheesemaking and would give Cornish Blue its unique taste and character, the Stansfields started production on a small scale in 2001. |

| The genuine quality of Williams Chase Distillery’s products comes from the home grown ingredients and artisan methods used to make them: Chase’s award winning English potato vodka is distilled five times in a handcrafted copper still and a skyscraping 70ft copper rectifier which has 42 bubble plates, each plate acting as a filter, before being chill filtered and handbottled. The result is an extremely pure and smooth luxury vodka. To this Williams infuses fresh fruit or freshly pressed elderflowers to produce his scrumptious velvety Chase Liqueurs. |

David’s Chilli Oil originally conceived as an exotic garnish and marinade for home cooked food, created to satisfy the tastes of my family and friends. Such was the response that it became clear that I may have found a niche in the market for a spicy chilli oil of unique recipe and quality locally sourced ingredients. The oil used is cold pressed extra virgin rape seed oil from the Cotswolds, golden in colour and has a light nutty flavour which when mixed with the rest of the ingredients delivers a prolonged, rich, aromatic smokyness packed with flavour and heat.

Paxton & Whitfield was first recorded as a partnership in 1797, but its origins began in 1742 when Sam Cullen set up a cheese stall in Aldwych market. As London became increasingly affluent Sam moved his cheese business closer to his wealthy customer base, near to Jermyn Street where there is still a shop today. He also took on two new partners - Harry Paxton and Charles Whitfield. Ironically it is their names, not his, which grace the shop fronts now. The Company's reputation grew steadily, culminating in 1850 with the honour of being appointed cheesemonger to HM Queen Victoria. It was the first of many Royal Warrants that the Company has held. |
We choose only the finest ingredients and quality products, carefully sourced from around the globe, for you to create recipes and dishes which look and taste authentic.
