PROPERLY PRODUCED

Launched in December, 2006, foodfullstop.com was recently listed in The Independent's 50 Best Food Websites, alongside a number of high profile endorsements. They have been praised by Tom Parker Bowles as 'The first stop for any lover of properly produced British food.' With these accolades, it is clear that the company's founders, Blanche Vaughan, Zoe Cordy-Simpson and Charlie O'Connor, are driven and have sought out the best available. They have tried the food, listened to the producers' stories and support their philosophies. Nothing gets through foodfullstop's door without growing through this process.

SEASONAL PRODUCE

The company has put much effort in getting the website just right and it's perfect. With plenty of information on the producers featured, suitable recipes and seasonal produce, it is easy to get carried away. Produce is divided into categories and you can then choose by type or search through the list of suppliers. Choose chickens from Label Anglais, soups from Rod and Ben, hand raised game pies from Game for Everything, George Scott's jamon iberico, biscuits from Popina. You will find rare breed meats, smoked organic salmon from an award winning smokehouse, creamy Stilton, single-estate tea, English jams, black bream, clotted cream, organic vegetables, artisan cheese from The Cheese Shed, native oysters, garlic, coffee, mushrooms; in fact all the ingredients needed for a feast.

As your order is dispatched from each individual supplier, expect to receive your order in separate packages. Also, note that some producers charge for delivery whilst others don't. This is all clearly laid out on the site so there are no surprises. Orders are usually delivered within one to three working days.
