Farm to Fork: Local Sourcing

Service Description

Local produce and sourcing is a hot topic and has proven to improve the standards of a hotel food offer – as well as increase revenue. There is no reason why your hotel restaurant cannot become a destination eating venue whilst also contributing to the local community of which you play a part. Local sourcing ensures the highest quality of fresh from field produce, optimising nutritional benefit, taste, and a great looking plate. Knowing the names of the local farming community adds life and vitality to the personality of your hotel, competing with the style of top restaurants in your area. This translates to increased pricing opportunity, meal satisfaction and perception of the value (incl. those important TripAdvisor commendations). If you are looking to increase the reputation and enjoyment of your hospitality, this treatment will help. By advising you on your menu development, it will make sure your offer is positioned at the forefront of quality, seasonality, and local sustainability. It will help you to develop the building blocks to establishing your food reputation whether you are just looking to enhance your current offer or support your hotel, conference centre or wedding venue with a high-quality dining experience.
