I recently started using the services of a young chap called Henry, who last year decided instead of going to Durham University and doing a degree in something or other, he would start his own business, delivering quality, fresh foods from local businesses to the consumer. Henry’s Local. It’s not country-wide (yet) and he only delivers in the area around Whitley Bay, and as my work is in his delivery area, I’m getting my stuff delivered there once a week. He has a great selection of meats, fish, bakery stuff, veg, fruit, and sundries and the fresh veg, meat and fish are great quality. This week I ordered some salmon, (Scottish) which I usually get from Asda, and I have to say it was the most delicious salmon I’ve ever had.
I do like supporting local business so this is an easy way to do it, and on top of Henry being a very nice lad, all the stuff comes in recycleable brown paper, and is mostly organic. I buy a lot less in Asda now, which is such a good thing to say!
If he gets as far south as Norfolk, I will certainly give him a go! 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.

Looks yummy! We are having Scottish salmon for Thanksgiving next Thursday – looking forward to it. It’s flown in daily – can you believe that?

Of course, I saw a TV program on how it’s caught, transported to Heathrow in a refrigerated lorry, put in the hold of jumbo jets, and flown to the USA. Cool! Enjoy!

We have, and we will. Interestingly, when we were in the middle of Wyoming a few years ago, we went out for sushi. It was so good! Sushi chef came from where we lived then, too, just by chance – and it was his first day. Fish flown in daily there, too, from California (we were in Jackson, which explains it). Amazing how the world has changed in our lifetimes . . . .

We have a grocery delivery service here called Instacart, but this sounds ever so much nicer.

Good for him, looks like a great business. I saw the picture of a pork pie on his home page, looks like I will have to try and master my hot water crust pastry 🙂
