Our Suppliers
Café @ All Saints believes in serving fresh, simple,
homemade food, with a menu that changes according to the seasons.
The only way we are able to do this is by relying on a network
of fantastic local producers who provide us with top-quality
produce, fresh from the farm.
We're proud supporters of Visit Herefordshire's Flavours
of Herefordshire scheme. Find out more about local producers

Many of our suppliers run their own farm shops, so if you like what you taste, why not pay them a visit?
Here's a selection:
Neal's Yard creamery : We get our crème fraiche and Perroche and Ragstone goats' cheese from this small dairy near Dorstone, which was originally part of the same company as Neal's Yard Dairy. They make fresh and mould-ripened cheeses, yoghurts and crème fraiche. Their cows' milk comes from Tony Norman's organic farm in Pembridge, and goats' milk comes from Tim & Richard Barter's farm near Ashleworth, Gloucestershire. www.nealsyardcreamery.co.uk
Tillington Court Farm provide us with asparagus, strawberries, purple sprouting broccoli and cauliflower. Visit the farm to try out the fishing lakes and mountain boarding (they hosted part of the UK Championships in 2007) or find them at farmers markets in Hereford, Abergavenny, Monmouth and Gloucester. www.courtfarmleisure.co.uk
Jus provide us with our single variety apple juice, based at Aylton near Ledbury. Jus are concerned about working with the environment, about apple varieties and their disappearance and about orchards, their reduction and the difficulties local growers are facing in marketing English apples. www.jusapples.co.uk
Our jam, marmalade and chutney comes from Sally's Pantry , courtesy of Sally Edey. Sally offers a wide range of products made with Herefordshire ingredients, including preserves, pickles, chutneys, home made cakes, scones, pies and quiches.
We source our stout and golden ale from the Wye Valley Brewery , a family run business started in 1985 by former Guinness brewer Peter Amor. They also run two pubs, The Barrels in Hereford and The Rose and Lion in Bromyard, which between them have won Herefordshire CAMRA pub of the year many times. www.wyevalleybrewery.co.uk
Our smoked bacon, ham, sausages and belly pork come courtesy
of Mr Tudge and his free-range Berkshire
rare breed pigs. Traditional pig arks are set in a field environment
to ensure the pigs have freedom of movement and enjoy a natural
existence in the great outdoors! Look out for Mr Tudge at
Farmers Markets in Hereford, Ludlow, Leominster,
Hereford, Malvern and Abergavenny.

Our cider is from Dunkertons , who have made organic cider and perry to Soil Association standards since 1988. Using a traditional press and mill, circa 1930, the cider is made using time honoured methods. Dunkertons are winner of a CAMRA Premona award for best contribution to cider making in Britain. www.dunkertons.co.uk
Our
water is from Berrington Spring, situated
in the heart of the Herefordshire countryside at Marden. Berrington.
Drawn from 35 meters the naturally filtered water from this
spring is bottled daily at source in a secure and clean environment.
The unique sandstone geology below the spring is responsible
for the subtle blend of minerals and the crystal clear water.
