I buy my ingredients locally, direct from the producer wherever possible, so that you may be sure that the food you eat has been responsibly sourced.
At a time when many caterers buy their food from national distribution companies, my belief that knowing just where your food comes from not only delivers better tasting food but also supports our local growing economy and reduces food mileage to a bare minimum.
I have always sourced my food from local, quality producers. On this page you'll find links to all my suppliers - from my egg-man and the butcher I've known since he was friends with my son through to the local farmer who grows my seasonal vegetables.
Seasonal vegetables grown-on and on-sale throughout the year at Common Farm, here in Eaton Bray, feature heavily in our freshly prepared dishes.

Outside In Floral Creations is a home run floristry business established in 2021, offering bespoke floral bouquets, arrangements and tributes tailored to suit all your requirements.
My business has been inspired by my passion for creativity and a desire to express my artistic flair, combined with my lifelong love of flowers, plants and the outdoors.
Whatever the sentiment or occasion, I believe that flowers convey the mood, theme or message perfectly. From making people feel loved and cared for to expressing the right vibe to a room, venue or home.
I am lucky enough to live in a village-based property with a large garden offering me the facilities to grow my own seasonal flowers and greenery which I can incorporate into my designs.
Whether you are looking for something traditional or contemporary, Outside In prides itself on providing quality flowers with a difference. Together we can use your ideas and my versatility to create something everybody will love.
