Flavours of the Cotswolds: How Relish Collaborates with Local Suppliers

At Relish Events Catering, our philosophy is simple: exceptional events start with exceptional ingredients. As a proud Cotswolds-based catering company, we believe in more than just creating beautiful menus, we’re passionate about celebrating the local producers and suppliers who make our food truly special.

From the rolling hills of Gloucestershire to the lush farmland of Wiltshire, our network of trusted suppliers helps us bring the rich flavours of the Cotswolds to every plate we serve. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at some of the incredible people we work with and why local really matters.

Jesse Smiths Butchers 

Quality starts with provenance, and when it comes to meat, Jesse Smiths Butchers sets the standard. Based in Cirencester and with a heritage that spans back to the 1800s, Jesse Smiths provide us with ethically sourced, expertly butchered cuts from local farms. Whether it’s succulent lamb racks or dry-aged beef fillet, their dedication to flavour and animal welfare aligns perfectly with our own values.

Sherston Free-Range 

From morning brunches to delicate desserts, eggs are at the heart of many of our dishes. That’s why we turn to Sherston Free-Range, where happy hens roam freely across Wiltshire pastures. Their golden-yolked eggs are as fresh as it gets, and you can taste the difference in every bite.

Bramleys Wholesale 

Local, seasonal, and vibrant. Bramleys Wholesale supplies us with the freshest fruit and vegetables straight from Bristol based growers. Their produce forms the colourful base of our plant-based dishes and garnishes every plate with flavour and crunch. From heritage carrots to heirloom tomatoes, they keep our menus creative and ever-changing with the seasons.

Halls Bakery 

Nothing completes a meal quite like the smell of freshly baked bread. Halls Bakery, a cherished local institution, provides us with everything from rustic sourdoughs to soft brioche rolls. Their handcrafted loaves are the perfect accompaniment to our canapés, sharing boards, and plated menus, and always a hit with our guests.

New Wave 

We rely on New Wave for top-quality, responsibly sourced fish and seafood that’s delivered fresh to our kitchen. Their passion for sustainability and traceability means we can offer beautiful fish dishes, from citrus-cured salmon to elegant seabass fillets. With complete confidence in where it came from.

Bisley Marquees 

Of course, food is only part of the picture. For many of our outdoor events and countryside weddings, Bisley Marquees help us create unforgettable spaces. From elegant pole marquees to stylish stretch tents, they bring atmosphere and structure to the most scenic locations.

R&R Catering Hire 

When it comes to crockery, cutlery, glassware, tables, and chairs, we trust R&R Catering Hire to provide reliable, high-quality equipment that enhances the overall dining experience. Their team ensures every event is seamlessly set up, whether it’s a formal sit-down wedding or a relaxed garden party.

Why Local Matters

By choosing to collaborate with local suppliers, we’re not only reducing our carbon footprint but we’re also strengthening community ties, supporting independent businesses, and ensuring that every ingredient we serve is as fresh and flavoursome as possible.

At Relish, every dish tells a story, and thanks to our local partners, it’s a story rooted in the heart of the Cotswolds.
