With the British fresh produce season now in full swing, Sysco Speciality Group has launched a comprehensive guide that will enable caterers to source the very best of British produce.
Understanding the increasing need to supply a greater seasonal British range, both to enhance quality, support British suppliers and to achieve shared sustainability goals with its customers, Sysco Speciality Group has produced the guide to inform its customers how buying British can not only help them with budgeting but with environmental issues too such as food miles, food provenance and animal welfare.
Sysco Speciality Group, which incorporates Fresh Direct, M&J, Fresh Fayre, Wild Harvest, KFF and Medina Foodservice, offers an unparalleled range of produce from dairy or fish and seafood to artisan local products. The Group is focussed on supplying a comprehensive range of seasonal British products and ingredients, sourcing the highest quality products from specialist suppliers to celebrate British food culture.
The seasonal range is delivered straight to the kitchen door and comes from over 100 expert British producers, from growers to farmers, fishermen to dairy processors, bakers to local suppliers, allowing caterers to include the grower or farm location on their menu for a point of difference and extra provenance.
With more ‘in season’ British products in its range than ever before, Sysco Speciality Group has compiled a comprehensive list of suppliers for the brochure which will help caterers to benefit the environment by lowering food road miles, reducing the journey from farm to fork and from sea to plate to reduce carbon footprint.
Whether it’s the first cut of British asparagus, the vibrant hue of outdoor rhubarb, freshly dug Jersey Royals or Kent strawberries in time for Wimbledon, each month through spring, summer and early autumn Sysco Speciality Group brings new seasonal highlights and readily available ingredients that will leave customers spoilt for choice.
Partner suppliers all sign up to Sysco Speciality Group’s Supplier Charter which means caterers can rest assured that all of its products come with a fully traceable supply chain. Its depots are BRC accredited, and it has one of the largest quality assurance teams in the industry to maintain the most stringent standards of food quality, safety, and consistency.
Each depot within the Group is filled with an abundance of locally grown, exceptional quality fruit and vegetables from expert farmers, fishermen, and regional suppliers up and down the country, showcasing the very best the British Isles has to offer. Whether it be an exceptional fruit grower in Kent leading the way in regenerative farming methods, a fourth-generation family-run farm in Herefordshire growing asparagus, rhubarb, sugar snap peas and fine beans, or a forward-thinking grower in Evesham investing in sustainable, hydroponically grown salad crops, Sysco Speciality Group has it covered.
