Supplying Warwickshire pubs with local potatoes

There’s something satisfying about a perfect portion of chips. Or a roast dinner where the potatoes are crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. In most Warwickshire pubs, potatoes are the quiet hero behind the scenes - always there, always dependable. But not all spuds are created equal.

If you're still sourcing your potatoes from national wholesalers or supermarket-style suppliers, it might be time to think differently. Here’s why more pubs in Warwickshire are switching to local farms - and why yours might want to do the same.

1. They taste better - it's that simple

When potatoes haven’t travelled halfway across the country in a lorry, they just taste fresher. The skins are firmer. The flesh is fluffier. And when they hit hot oil or a roasting tray, they react exactly how you want them to.

Your customers might not say “this is a locally sourced Maris Piper, lightly sea-salted”, but they’ll definitely say, “These chips are banging.”

2. Local means sustainable - and that matters

More and more people want to know where their food is coming from. And frankly, who can blame them?

When you source your potatoes from a farm just down the road, you’re cutting food miles and reducing your pub’s carbon footprint without even trying. It’s a great look - for your menu and for your morals.

Bonus: your chefs don’t have to chase a wholesaler 100 miles away when there’s a delivery hiccup. We’re just up the road.

3. Grown for pubs, not supermarkets

We’re not growing potatoes for supermarket shelves. We’re growing them for fryers, roasters, mashers - for real kitchens like yours.

That means we choose and harvest varieties specifically for cooking performance:

• Chips that stay crisp and golden

• Mash that’s creamy without extra butter

• Roasts that puff up like little golden clouds

  
  

You’ll notice the difference. So will your diners.

4. Your story becomes part of ours

Warwickshire has some brilliant pubs - from cosy countryside locals to bustling town-centre gastros. When you source from local farms, your menu becomes part of the bigger food story here.

People love seeing things like: “Chips made with locally grown potatoes from Lowes, Warwickshire”

It’s the kind of detail that turns casual customers into regulars.
