Suppliers

Sevi from Horrocks
Fruit and Veg

We've spent time trying to source locally and we have tried Munneries and Horrocks in East Wittering for our fruit and vegetables:  both have a great choice and even better quality of produce. We have stuck with Sevey from Horrocks - a greengrocer that has been established for five successful years - as we like to support the little guy, just like us and the feeling of local produce so evident in his little shop....give him a go, and leave the supermarkets behind!


Horrocks specialise in establishing good relationships with local independent growers in West Sussex and buy on a daily basis - thus they always have local seasonal produce.  In addition, just to make sure everything is really fresh, they go to London Covent Garden Market every night, six days a week!


Fish
Again...we have tried some of the local suppliers, but Adam Shaw's Something Fishy reeled us back in with his selection of locally caught fish.  It is a really warming feeling choosing fish by sight every morning for the restaurant.

And there's also Bob at the end of the road, yes, right down by the sea.  Couldn't be closer!  He's got the Fish Hut and often has mackerel and catch of the day.

Meat
A S Wallace in East Wittering really is hard to beat.  All the steaks are from Orkney and some beautiful fresh local meats (for instance pork) from Runcton and the Three Harbours.


and
we think we should also mention somewhere the Cat and Rabbit Rescue Centre - a fantastic source of all sorts of quirky things that we've used in the restaurant!

We are always looking to champion our local growers so if you have any surplus produce that might interest us please either phone us on 01243 672 754 or e-mail dave@eatsamphire.co.uk.
