Local Ingredients
In Nottinghamshire we are actively trying to reduce our carbon footprint and are proud to be going local with our school dinners, and here’s how:
- Venison is from Thoresby Park, Sherwood Forest
- Beef – grazed on the banks of the River Trent by Holme Farm in Rampton
- Lamb from the Peak District
- Turkey – farm assured, cage free from Lincs Turkey Ltd in Grainthorpe, Louth
-
Pork - local and rare breed from Hockerwood Farm in Upton
- Eggs - free range from Fieldson Farm Eggs in Lincolnshire
- Milk - fresh and local from Newfield Dairy in Hockerton
-
Vegetables - fresh and seasonal, grown locally where possible, from Country Fresh Foods in Sheffield
Other Commitments
- Our fish carries the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) accreditation – ensuring it is sourced from sustainable stocks
- We use organic bouillon from Major International in all our pasta, pie and casserole dishes
- We use organic soya milk to cater for medical or dietary requirements
