River Cottage Canteen Join Forces with Saltash-based Tamar View Fruiterers

River Cottage Canteen & Deli is joining forces with Saltash-based Tamar View Fruiterers to create an improved food network to enable small scale producers of fruit and vegetables to supply seasonal produce to its new canteen kitchen in Plymouth.

River Cottage Canteen & Deli is expected to be opening at Royal William Yard on Friday 16th December, and will be based on the successful River Cottage Canteen & Deli in Axminster, which was originally set up by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall.

Tamar View says the Devon and Cornwall food transport network is a natural development for its business and will enable small scale producers to supply the canteen in an efficient, sustainable way with fresh local produce that River Cottage has become famous for.

Managing Director David Barrett said: "Really this is an extension of the service we already provide. We are passionate about local produce and have 19 vans that travel up and down the country daily from Penzance to Cullompton collecting produce."
