    Suppliers to The Wellington are personally and carefully identified to ensure that as much as possible of the produce served comes from local and trusted friends.&nbsp; By taking this care, we hope to provide you with the peace of mind that your food is reliable, traceable and wholesome.&nbsp; If we can support the local economy, we will all benefit in so many ways.  
  
  Bolton Abbey Foods   
  website:   www.boltonabbeyfoods.co.uk    
  Bolton Abbey Foods farm the very finest Beef and Lamb.&nbsp;   
  They use the best of both native British breeds and continental breeds for beef. Selecting animals who are ideally suited to the high Dales grassland and rich lower parkland they have access to.&nbsp; The Beef animals are reared naturally, suckling their mothers from birth and grazing at least two seasons at grass.&nbsp; The animals are healthy and happy.&nbsp; The texture, taste, consistency and overall quality of the meat are fantastic and to ensure this, it is hung and fully matured.  
  Meanwhile, sheep graze over the heather moors and lower parklands. The flock has been established over the past 50 years and are indigenous to the Wharfedale valley. They are farmed in a natural way utilising the diverse grazing which is available on the farm.&nbsp; The lambs are Spring born to their home-bred mothers and suckled during the Autumn. The lambs are finished purely on grass, which ensures only the best quality of lamb is produced. This farming practice creates a wholesome, natural and unique product.  
  
  
  The Dexter Herd, Burley Woodhead  
  This beef herd has been specifically reared for The Wellington and The Fleece Inn and been supplied to us for two years now.&nbsp; Dexter cattle are a minority breed of cattle and until fairly recently, were in fact considered as a Rare Breed. They are the smallest native breed and originated in the West of Ireland in the 1800's as an ideal &lsquo;cottagers cow&rsquo;, due to their size and usefulness.&nbsp; Dexters are a slow maturing breed and the beef produced is a &lsquo;traditional&rsquo; type, with a greater level of fat marbling than is seen in supermarket type of beef. It also tends to be darker with an intense flavour, partially as result of the breed and partly as the meat is properly hung for four weeks to produce a tender and better flavoured meat.   
  
  
  Inshore Fisheries, Redcar  
  Supplies all three establishments and provides us with fresh North Sea native fish and seafood.&nbsp; In addition, to ensure all round UK interest, Inshore Fisheries source stock out of Billingsgate, Scotland and Cornwall.&nbsp; Redcar itself offers a range of choices of fishing, from flat sandy beaches to rocky gullies. Codling, Whiting, Coalfish, Flounder and Bass are the catches but also found are crab and lobster.&nbsp; And if we are lucky, we occasionally benefit from their shellfish foraging for winkles on the beach.  
  
  
  MacKenzies Smoke House. Blubberhouses  
  MacKenzies Yorkshire Smokehouse was established in 1985 and is a family owned and run business.&nbsp; Using traditional smoking and curing methods they have an extensive range of the finest smoked fish, poultry and meats. &nbsp;As well as products you would expect to find, there are more unusual items such as smoked guinea fowl, smoked wild boar, smoked ostrich as well as MacKenzies delicious dry cured bacon.  
  In their turn, the food that MacKenzies smoke or cure is where ever possible also locally sourced and is fully traceable.&nbsp;   
  
  
  Richard Wellocks, Trawden  
  Local supplies of fruit, vegetables and some cheeses.  
  
  
  Holme Farmed Venison, Sherburn in Elmet  
  Naturally farmed for the highest quality and flavour, all their animals are naturally reared on extensive grazing systems.&nbsp; Venison has a delicious flavour and is naturally low in cholesterol compared with other meats and because it is so lean there is very little wastage.  
  
  
  Local Estate Game Produce  
  Pheasant, Partridge, Grouse, Hare and Rabbit to name but a little of the game we aim to miss when driving about the country roads.&nbsp; It comes our way eventually in a far easier manner!  
  
  
  Cherifoods  
  If we can&rsquo;t find something locally, we know a man who will travel and find it for us.&nbsp; The markets in France are his stomping grounds and he returns to us with French, Spanish and other European delicacies (or not so delicate, if you have tried the fiery chorizo!).  
  
    Nidderdale Poultry  
  Supply us with free range chickens who have lived in the lee of Brimham Rocks.
