Local Foods - Regional Flavours

Britain is a nation rich in a heritage of regional foods, from clotted cream and heather honey to local cheese and home cured meats, from whiskey marmalades and fragrant ciders to spicy sausages and dairy ice-cream. So you’ll be glad to know that we’re committed to bringing the best of British food from your region to your local Budgens supermarket.


Local tastes and exotic variations

More than that though, we want to support regional producers whose foods reflect local traditions - especially since many of these highly specialised food-makers create exciting and imaginative new variations on traditional foodstuffs, whilst also introducing exotic and rare recipes that will surprise and delight your palate!


Supporting your community

By supporting local producers, especially small family-run businesses, we’re actively contributing to the local communities in which our stores are located – plus our customers can also make their contribution by choosing to buy at Budgens from local suppliers. In addition, we’re following the guidelines of the latest government report on the Future of Food and Farming, which seeks to revitalise local food economies by encouraging small-scale specialised production.


We want your suggestions!

We’re always keen to hear from customers about any locally made foods that we should be buying in – because these suggestions are invaluable in helping us to introduce new local products to our shelves that we might not otherwise hear about. What’s more, customer recommendations allow you, our valued customers, to become a part of the Budgens commitment to supporting your local economy!
