The Local Food Hall Suffolk

Farmers in Suffolk have found a gap in the market to get their local produce to you the consumers. They decided to showcase quality food to the public and from this the Suffolk Food hall was born. The Food Hall is open daily and acts as an indoor market where you can shop for all your local produce under one roof. Below is an insight of the food hall taken fromt their website to give you some background knowledge of type of place it is.

"As Suffolk farmers, we were frustrated that consumers had limited access to much of the fantastic food produced locally. Spurred into action by this apparent gap in the market, the concept of a showcase for quality local food with provenance began to take shape and the Suffolk Food Hall was born."

Situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty next to the River Orwell, the Food Hall is just two miles south of Ipswich and is conveniently located within minutes of the A14/A12.

Since opening in May 2007, the Suffolk Food Hall has quickly established itself as a centre of excellence for local food. We’ve brought the best possible food specialists we could find under one roof: our own in-house, fully-stocked, free-range Butchery; Crystalwaters fishmongers from Lowestoft; Hamish Johnson cheeses from Framlingham; and Bread by Helena Doy

As well as this, they've got an impressive delicatessen section, an extensive variety of local and British-grown vegetables (both fresh and frozen), fine wines from Promotion Wines in Stoke by Nayland, freshly baked cakes and biscuits, marinades, specialist oils and other gourmet goodies, plus a large selection of larder must-haves.

See the website for more information about opening times and how to find them.
