Hands up who gave up something in January - booze, carbs, meat, all hope of making it to payday with money in your pocket? Yep, we know the feeling too. The food industry is a forever moving landscape of new trends, and old ones re-visited, and whilst this no doubt makes for exciting menus, we like some stability too. We're here to champion Calorie Free Fridays. Doesn't matter what you eat today, … [Read more...]
Waste not want not
How's your January going? Fear not, pay day is just the 96 days away. (It certainly feels like it) One way to save a few quid and also use up leftover veg is to make soup. This used to scare me for some reason, although watching the other half make it last week showed me just how straight forward the whole process is. (He knows what he's doing, me, not so much) Soup is a perfect winter warmer, and … [Read more...]
Last minute shopping?
So, we're almost on the final approach to Christmas. You ready? Some of us (like me) have pretty much got it all sorted. Chaps, you've got a week to chill out before you should even think about the shopping. Here's a reminder of our opening hours: we recommend avoiding the Economy delivery option now, especially if you need something before next Wednesday. We've noticed the delivery … [Read more...]
Christmas Jumper Day
Yep, we don't mind wearing something festive if it means that we get the chance to raise some money for a good cause. Now I don't normally need an excuse to wear something hideous (it's a look I carry off well) but it's nice to see my colleagues Tom and Mark rocking the look too. (That's yours truly making up the numbers) I recycle my fluffy festive jumper, as it's worn for a day or so and … [Read more...]
Deliveries
So, how was your Black Friday? It seems more manic than ever this year, and although the vast majority of our customers received their orders within expected time frames, some orders fell foul of the sheer weight of traffic going through some of the busier depots. Modern day tracking has made all the difference to a busy day - keep an eye on your emails for relevant updates. Expecting a parcel … [Read more...]
Christmas Opening Hours
Christmas is fast approaching, make sure you don't run out of food packaging and glasses in the final run up to the festive period. It's worth considering that our suppliers will close down for Christmas too, so if you have a big order to place, sooner is always better than later! Our primary courier network (DPD) don't deliver on the major days (Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Years Day) … [Read more...]
The Super-Sub
We're 12 games into the 2019/20 Premier League season, and while every club is hopeful of a decent cup run on the pitch and some silverware in May, it's good to see that the big teams are also starting to flex their green credentials too. Let's face it, these clubs are globally recognised brands in their own right, and have the power to influence millions of fans across the world. Clubs were … [Read more...]
“Good morning, Cater For You..”
"I'm stuck. I'm in dire need of some stuff. If I place the order now, how quickly can you deliver?" I reckon we're asked this at least 10 times a day. If this sounds like you and you're up against it, here's what you need to know. Our most popular delivery class is our Standard Uk Courier option, available to the vast majority of our customers at the checkout. We just need your order by 2pm … [Read more...]
Eco-friendly sauce pot?
I'll be honest, I couldn't hide my glee when these samples arrived in the post. What are they? Biodegradable Bagasse Deli pots and matching lids. (Honestly, it doesn't take much to make me happy these days) We're giving these pots some serious thought, as it ticks more than 1 box and we've been after something like this for ages. Manufactured from environmentally friendly Bagasse - in laymans … [Read more...]
It’s in the bag
My hard work in the garden this year is starting to pay off. One of my (sort of) success stories are these potatoes. I grew them in potato bags - at one point they were in danger of blocking my way out of the house every day. Finally, the foliage started to die back, so I took the plunge and had a rummage in the bag. So to speak. Happy days, something had grown! Back in the day, before we … [Read more...]
