05 From the trade

What the early openers say.

Sample review

Pies are in the warmer by twenty to seven and gone by smoko. In three years I can count the late deliveries on one hand, and one of those was the snow.

Tania, GoreCafe owner · Eastern run
Sample review

We moved our school lunches to their lower-sodium mince pie and not one kid noticed. The allergen matrix came through before I'd even asked for it.

Rachel, WintonSchool kitchen · Northern run
Sample review

I change my standing order at five to one and it's right the next morning. Every time. That's the whole reason we've stayed.
