Hello, I’m Reggie and I’m the voice of local food. That's because I’m your voice. When you Reggie-ster (sorry) on this site, you will be able to get involved in helping promote and share what's great and sometimes, what's not so great about the food that's produced and sold around you. And, by shopping locally, with local suppliers you will also help the local economy.
My business The Real Hog Roast Co uses only Blythburgh Free Range Pork. Every week we get testimonials about the fantastic quality of the pork we serve.
In our opinion, Blythburgh Free Range Pork is a hidden treasure which we only discovered by accident, like all good things.
Visit our website www.catering4occasions.co.uk & read the testimonials to the fantastic pork we serve each week.
This is a great place - the food is always top notch! I've eaten there on 3 occassions and the food has always been great. Weather you eat the gluten free items and the 'regular' items, the food is perfect! Cooked to order, so you know that not only is the food local and fresh, but that its cooked fresh! Definatly worth the visit if your in Weston, or even further a field as bristol!!
I love this place! If you have children they are extremely friendly and do a fabulous Babychino (made of frothy milk with chocolate sprinkles) so your little one can enjoy a coffee just like mummy. I'd also highly recommend the cheesecake.
It's great to go somewhere so stylish which is still relaxed and friendly
For Barleymow farm shop to be advertising on a free range website is a little ironic seeing that their cattle are kept in barns for most of their life in somewhat questionable conditions lying on top of sometimes three feet depth of dung and very poor drainage. I will not eat their beef under any circumstances.
Happy Meats, a company that use happy animals, where traditional values are presented with loving care and excellent preparation of their meats . The lamb & apricot sausages are heavenly, a must try the next time you visit. All beef, lamb and pork really taste of the Teme Valley, full of subtle flavours and tenderness.
A quick summary.. lovely barn with roaring log burner in the winter where you can warm yourself over a nice hot chocolate. The farmer has his own pigs and the pork is the best I have tasted for a long time. Lovely salt beef from the Quex herd which is made on the premises. There is also a fishmonger who has a good selection of the local catch. There are local potatoes and other veg, cauliflowers particularly good from this neck of the woods as the chalky soil gives them a real strong flavour. The Quex estate is awash with the yellow of rape in May and June and produces the most wonderful rape seed oil which is bottled and sold on the premises. Some would think slightly pricey at a fiver, but a little goes a long way, and the flavour of roasties is wonderful. You can take your bottle, a very tall attractive one at that, back for refilling. Just what I am about to do.
Oh and there is a lovely restaurant serving what is produced from the estate. Very relaxed and reasonably priced. The freezers also provide local food producers cook at home ready meals.. The Chai Stop organic curries and the like. . Just won a taste of kent award and quite rightly so.. Quex Barn is a really nice place to shop, and I promise I use it weekly and they haven't paid me to write this.. Just want to keep the place in business because it's good to see local organic food on my doorstep.. and did I mention the apple juice......!!
Howell's Butchers Ltd - Swansea
Whenever we visit Gower we stop off at Howell's to stock up with their Saltmarsh Lamb (when in season) and their Welsh Black Beef - both of which are the best we've ever tasted.
