Start with origin
If regional or British provenance matters to the menu, include it in the initial brief.
Sourcing & provenance
Know what you are buying, and why.
Product origin, assurance and availability should be discussed against the exact line your kitchen needs.
A practical approach
Local where practical. Specific where it matters.
Midland Foods' long-standing position is to source locally where possible. The right evidence depends on the product and specification, so provenance should be confirmed with the team rather than inferred from a general website claim.
Check the evidence
Ask for the product-specific assurance and traceability documents you need.
Confirm availability
Origin, breed and assurance options can vary. Confirm them before printing menus or tender responses.
Have a sourcing requirement?
Tell the team the product, origin or assurance criteria, volume and intended use. They can confirm what is available.
Discuss your requirements
