In selecting our suppliers, we ensure that they recognize our shared responsibility to animals, the environment and the food they produce.

Animal Welfare Council (FAWC) as follows
· Freedom from hunger and thirst
· Freedom from discomfort
· Freedom from pain, injury or disease
· Freedom to express normal behaviour
· Freedom from fear and distress
OUR POLICY
· To source animals from farms and suppliers who demonstrate high standards of animal welfare

· To buy and encourage the sale of higher welfare products such as free range eggs, pork and poultry.
· All our beef is grass fed and free to roam outdoors
· All our meat is free from additives or growth promoters and are antibiotic free
