The new menu see popular favourites joined by up to 13 new savoury dishes and seven new drinks.
Both companies are three-generational, family-owned businesses and the occasion was a true toast to local sourcing, craftsmanship and quality ingredients. With the much-loved Porky Whites Surrey Sausage as well as a delicious – exclusive to Squire’s – Handmade Sausage Roll, both taking pride of place on the new menu, the collaboration highlights Squire’s commitment to supporting fellow family businesses and championing the very best of local produce.
Thoughtfully created by Squire’s talented chefs, the new menu is full of hearty seasonal flavours, freshly prepared dishes and delicious new additions perfect for any time of day – from relaxed breakfasts to indulgent lunches and sweet afternoon treats.
At the heart of Squire’s food philosophy is a commitment to quality food, thoughtfully sourced. Ingredients are carefully chosen from trusted suppliers, with British produce used wherever possible to celebrate seasonal flavour, reduce food miles and support responsible farming.
Sarah Squire, Chairman – Squire’s Garden Centres, comments: “We are so excited to unveil our new autumn and winter menu in our Café Bars. It has been lovingly created by our chefs to offer something for everyone – whether you’re enjoying a leisurely breakfast, catching up with friends over lunch, or treating yourself to something sweet.
“I’m sure our customers will be delighted with the new dishes and will find something just perfect for every visit. It is wonderful to know that, in enjoying these flavours, they are also supporting local businesses and celebrating the very best of British produce.
”This season, I am particularly delighted that our menu features two outstanding products from another Surrey-based family business, Porky Whites. Their award-winning sausages and delicious handmade sausage rolls are the result of generations of expertise, care and pride in their craft. As a family business ourselves, it’s very special to work with another like-minded local producer who shares our values of quality, community and sustainability.
Francesca Wyatt, Managing Director – Porky Whites Ltd, comments: “The coming together of two longstanding Surrey-based family businesses is a hugely exciting and we’re proud to be able to bring our award-winning sausages to the Squire’s café bars. We are delighted that even more consumers will now be able to enjoy our famed sausages!”
