Bell of Northampton
Renowned café continues to support local with launch of new menu
Home lifestyle store – Bell of Northampton is partnering with three local food producers to create a new look menu for the summer. Located in the heart of Bell of Northampton’s showroom on
Kingsthorpe Road, Northampton, its Love Lunch Café continues to use local produce as part of its menu off ering, with a trio of local suppliers providing regular deliveries to the store. Wesses Bakery in Market Harborough provides Bell with a daily
delivery of essential fresh produce, including bread and milk to help the café serve up its range of sandwiches and variety of barista- made coff ees and specialty teas. Daily deliveries of fresh fruit, vegetables, cheese and salad are
provided by Brixworth greengrocer, K F Troop & Sons. T e family- run business is co-owned by Sam Troop, the third generation of greengrocer within the business, following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather. His grandfather set up the business in the 1960s, starting out with
mobile vans to deliver produce door-to-door. In the early 1990s the business expanded with the addition of a shop in Brixworth and it began to service those in the catering industry. Over the last 15 years, deliveries to restaurants and cafes have grown, with Bell being one of its valued customers since the Love Lunch Café opened ten years ago. Ecton butcher W H Thomas makes regular deliveries of
Cumberland-style sausages and thick cut, unsmoked back bacon, which are used as part of Love Lunch’s all day breakfast off ering. A family-run business with a small team of butchers, the fi rst
W H T omas shop opened in September 2014 using the quality meat produced on its East Lodge Farm. A Farm Assured holding, the farm has Red Tractor approval which means that food has been responsibly sourced, safely produced and comes from crops and animals that have been well cared for.
Amongst the items on the new menu are freshly prepared salads
including Greek-style with feta and olives, and Waldorf with celery, apple, walnuts and grapes. T ere are also new additions to the range of sandwiches, toasties and paninis on off er, including hummus, gherkins, coriander and tomato; goats cheese, aubergine and onion chutney, and prawns in a Marie-Rose sauce. Bell is also renowned for its homemade cakes, scones with jam
and signature afternoon teas, which remain fi rmly on the menu. All food is made in store using only the freshest and fi nest locally sourced ingredients, and is then baked in one of two Agas. All jams and chutneys are also made on site. “Our aim at Love Lunch is to provide a warm and welcoming
atmosphere where you can enjoy freshly made food, delicious drinks and great company,” said Alex Dunkley, Love Lunch team leader. “We are keen to continue sourcing local produce and our team put their heart and soul into every recipe they create using these ingredients. “Our new summer menu has some great new additions for the
summer months, but some fi rm favourites also remain. We look forward to welcoming customers in store soon.”
