Suppliers
We’re really proud to support some fantastic local businesses who supply us with fresh produce, milk and more. We’re also really particular about the people we work with – choosing companies who are thoughtful in their choices. Wherever possible we source inclusive options and make sure that we’re picking healthy options that still taste great.

Blendsmiths
The wonderful guys at Blendsmiths make deliciously indulgent plant based drinks for grown-ups. A very different excuse to pop the kettle on. Their drinks come in a magical blend of flavours including beetroot, chai and turmeric. They also have amazing business principles — the ingredients they source are produced without both human and animal suffering as well as being cultivated and produced with minimum impact to the environment.
Tan’s Tasty Treats
The incredible Tanya, Queen of Brownies, is responsible for your ruined diets and return visits to The Pantry. She supplies us with tonnes of her chocolate masterpieces each week and keeps Leyland on a sugar high. Famous in the local area for a reason, she’s been amazing at keeping us topped as her bakes fly out! More than a supplier, Tanya is now a great friend of #teampantry.
The Brinscall Baker
Bex makes the best cakes around – from seasonally themed loaf cakes to cafe classics, there’s always something incredibly tasty in our cake case from The Brinscall Baker. As you’ve gathered by now, Bex is from Brinscall down the road. She can be found at Hoghton Tower on market weekends if you ever want to swing by for a full cake or to stock up on brownies (which you should).
Cakesmiths
Superstar bakers of the cafe world, we love placing an order with Cakesmiths – they make all our banana and chocolate chip bread which we sourced purposefully from them, as it’s vegan (you’d never tell, it’s incredible no-compromise stuff). The guys at Cakesmiths know that treats shouldn’t be exclusive to people without special dietary requirements, making them a perfect partner for us.
Createbox
‘Jess with the cake’ as our daughter, Pip, coined her during lockdown – Jess is a miracle worker when it comes to pastries and all things foodie. She makes the most wonderful graze boxes around and puts so much passion into her treats – from the flavour combinations to her stunning presentation, we’re so thrilled to have Jess’ creations in our cake case. She’s also our closest supplier, as she quite literally lives around the corner.
Holme Farm Dairies
Fresh milk from happy cows that live down the road on Holme Farm, Penwortham. With over 30 years in the game, and 30 milkmen on the books, there was only one choice for all our fresh milk and cheese. We get daily deliveries so you know the milk is as fresh as we can get it.
The Little Free From Bakery
We were recommend The Little Free From Bakery by a friend of ours, Annemarie. We’re glad she told us about them as they solved a big problem for us – where to find the best vegan, gluten and soy free treats in town. It’s easy to find one of those, but all three together? Unheard of! They believe everyone should have their cake and eat it, and so do we.
Mrs Dowsons
Queen of the Ribble Valley, Mrs Dowsons ice creams are the best in town. We use her scoops in all of our milkshakes and also serve up the tastiest affogato around. All her products are made on the farm using fresh milk or spring water for her plant based range. Yes, that’s right – we have vegan dairy and gluten free ice cream in our freezers!
Tank Coffee
Last in the list, but by no means least, we work with the incredible Tank Coffee who supply us with all our freshly roasted beans. They source amazing green coffee by trading directly (not just fairly) with farmers in Africa. Tank hand roast at their roastery in Leigh twice weekly and send us espresso and decaf beans each week.
