The Secret Ingredient Behind TOAST's Flavour
When you bite into a golden toastie or sip your favourite coffee at TOAST, you're tasting more than just great flavour—you're supporting a whole community of brilliant British producers. We're proud to say that what's on your plate and in your cup comes from passionate, small-scale suppliers who care as much about quality and sustainability as we do.
Why Local Matters
We choose local over corporate because it means fresher food, fewer food miles, and a more personal connection to the things we serve. Every partnership we've built supports the British economy and celebrates the fantastic work done by independent farms, kitchens, and makers around the country.
It's not just about taste (though it tastes better too), but about doing things properly.
Meet Our Suppliers
Here are just some of the fantastic people and businesses behind our menu:
Fairfields Farm Crisps
Made from 100% British potatoes and cooked in their own renewable-energy-powered Essex factory, Fairfields Farm crisps are the ultimate crunchy sidekick to our toasties. Grown, harvested, and packed on-site, they're as local and sustainable as crisps come.
Stokes Sauces
Based in Suffolk, Stokes doesn't cut corners—just tomatoes. Their ketchup is made with plump Mediterranean tomatoes, while their brown sauce blends date purée and black treacle for depth and richness. No nasties, just delicious flavour.
Tiptree Jams & Preserves
You'll find Tiptree's iconic preserves in our milkshakes and sweet treats. Crafted with locally grown fruit and time-honoured techniques like small-batch cooking in copper pans, their jams are the real deal—free from artificial colours and flavours, packed with homemade charm.
C.F. Humphreys & Sons
This family-run farm in Essex has been going for over 100 years—and they still do things the right way. Their sausages and bacon come from animals raised to the highest welfare standards, with full traceability from farm to fork. Proper breakfasts start here.
Jolly's Drinks
Cornish-born and full of flavour, Jolly's soft drinks are made with real ingredients and Cornish spring water, then packaged in 100% recyclable cans. From Cornish cola to fruity faves, they bring a splash of sunshine to every sip.
Every Bite Supports Something Bigger
By eating at TOAST, you're helping keep these brilliant businesses thriving—and championing sustainability, craftsmanship, and community. It's all part of our commitment to doing things the right way, with real care and proper ingredients.
So next time you pop in, know that your flat white or toastie isn't just delicious—it's doing a bit of good too. That's what we call feel-good food.
From Farm to Cup (and Plate)
Every time you choose TOAST, you're not just enjoying amazing flavour but you're experiencing the journey of care and quality from the hands of dedicated local producers right to your table. Whether it's the ethically sourced coffee beans from our local roasters, the lovingly baked breads from artisan bakeries, or the crisp, fresh ingredients that complete our menu, every element is a testament to British excellence and community spirit.
Together, we're not only building a better dining experience but creating a future where every delicious bite reinforces the bonds of our community. Here's to savouring local pride, one mouthwatering moment at a time.
