We are delighted to announce that we have entered into a tasty new partnership with fellow Kent-based business Foodari 🍓
The partnership will see Foodari supply fresh, sustainably sourced fruit and vegetables to our estate of managed pubs and hotels across London and the South East, providing local ingredients for our seasonal, freshly prepared menus while helping to reduce food miles and champion regional growers.
The collaboration brings together two independent Kent businesses that share a strong commitment to quality, sustainability and supporting local communities. We’re also both proud holders of Royal Warrants.
The new venture was officially launched this month, during peak strawberry season, at Newlands Farm in Teynham – Foodari’s principal strawberry supplier, located less than four miles from our historic brewery in Faversham.
Foodari Managing Director Jonathan Parker and Shepherd Neame’s Head of Food, Simon Howlett, marked the occasion by surveying some of the 25,000 strawberry plants waiting to be picked and packed into plastic-free, compostable containers.
They were joined by Will King, Farm Manager at the fourth generation family fruit farm.
We look forward to a long and fruitful new partnership 🎉
