Supporting Local Suppliers: A Commitment to Community and Quality at Brothers in Arms
Introduction
At Brothers in Arms, your favourite family-run country pub and restaurant in Walpole St Andrew, Norfolk, we believe in the power of community. One of the ways we manifest this belief is through our steadfast commitment to supporting local suppliers. In this blog post, we'll explore why this is so important to us and how it benefits not just our business but the community at large.
The Philosophy Behind Supporting Local Suppliers
Quality Over Quantity
When we source locally, we're not just buying ingredients; we're investing in quality. Local suppliers often produce smaller batches with a focus on quality rather than mass production, ensuring that what ends up on your plate is the best it can be.
Sustainability
Local sourcing is not just good for the palate; it's good for the planet. By reducing the distance food has to travel, we're lowering our carbon footprint, making our business more sustainable.
Strengthening the Local Economy
Every pound spent on local suppliers is a pound that stays within the community, contributing to its economic well-being. By supporting local businesses, we're helping to create jobs and foster community development.
Our Local Heroes
The Butcher
Our meats are not just locally sourced; they are also butchered and prepared on-site to ensure the highest quality. This level of care and attention to detail sets us apart and elevates the dining experience at Brothers in Arms.
The Farmer
Our vegetables are grown locally and are farm-to-table fresh. The difference in taste is palpable, and it's something we're incredibly proud of.
The Brewer
Even our selection of beers is locally sourced, featuring brews from local artisans who share our commitment to quality and community.
The Impact on Our Menu
Supporting local suppliers has a direct impact on our menu, allowing us to offer seasonal dishes made from the freshest ingredients. Our Autumn menu, for example, features a range of dishes that celebrate the bounty of the season, all sourced from local suppliers.
Conclusion
Supporting local suppliers is not just a business strategy; it's a commitment to our community and to the quality of the food we serve. It's a win-win situation that benefits everyone involved, from the farmer to the customer enjoying a meal at Brothers in Arms.
So the next time you dine with us, know that you're not just enjoying a meal; you're also supporting a network of local suppliers who are as committed to quality and community as we are.
