We have just taken on a new fruit and vegetable supplier coming out of Derbyshire. They have a very impressive

array of local produce. We will be trying a new range of cheeses from Staffordshire, all our salad leaves will

come from this side of Derby. This is an addition to our new veg producer from Rothley 'The Bee and Bean Nursery'

We are getting closer to our target of obtaining 80% of our produce from within 40 miles of the restaurant.

Any more then this has logistical problems, being 60 miles to the nearest ocean doesn't help for a start & we are

still struggling to find a local butter producer, so we will still have to rely on good old French unsalted. But if anyone

can point me in the right direction, I would be very grateful.

The February cookery demonstration is fully booked, but we have spaces available

for Sunday 7th March and every first Sunday of the following months.
