In the last 2 months during the current crisis, we have seen an impact across all industries, especially hospitality, food and drink. As the restaurant industry closed overnight, there has been a huge change to our food system, we’ve essentially gone from eating out to eating in. is began with the panic buying and now that we’ve exhausted our attempts at home made baking with banana loaf and soda bread, queueing at a supermarket has become the new normal, but what are the other alternatives? Farmers that previously would sell to trade instead had a potential new audience of selling directly to customers and entered a whole new world. Where do you start, what will the demand be like? How will you deliver as we slowly begin to enter the unknown? No one really has the answers to when will restaurants open and be back to normal, but what we do know is that for most people, the rst and foremost priority will be to spend time with friends and family. In the last 2 months we have seen an increase in small independent businesses, like Blackwater Pork, o ering products online, which means that you can get restaurant quality food, delivered to your door ready to entertain your friends and family. Blackwater Pork, based in Colbury, started with four pigs and now have over 80 Rare Breed Berkshires and Gloucester Old Spot’s. In the past they successfully supplied renowned restaurants across the New Forest including Spot in the Wood, e Bell at Brook and White Horse amongst others. ey have now adapted and have started to o er customers their ‘Favourites selection’ and ‘Something for Breakfast’ and are already playing with new ideas to expand the product selection that they have online. Sue, the proprietor, not only runs the farm but butchers all of the meat by hand in her own butchers’ unit and has won various awards at Hampshire Fare. Visit www. blackwaterpork.com Following the resounding success of last year’s National Fish and Chip Day, and in response to the Government’s recent announcements, the celebration of the nation’s favourite dish will go ahead in 2020, but a little later than planned on Friday 4th September . As well as being one of the most popular awareness days of the year, National Fish and Chip Day this year will be even more special as we say a very big thank you to this amazing industry who are at the centre of every community, and who have, when able to do so safely, adapted to keep us fed, and when that wasn’t possible have kept us all safe by remaining closed at great sacri ce to their business. All of them have shown great resilience throughout lockdown. So, let’s make National Fish and Chip Day 2020 the best yet as we bring together everyone involved in creating this iconic British dish; fromFish &Chip shops, pub chains, restaurants, retailers, to the shermen and farmers who provide the sustainable and natural ingredients needed to create this family favourite. Last year National Fish and Chip Day was a day like no other, with everyone talking about the nation’s favourite dish from rst thing in the morning until late at night! People across the country came together to celebrate their love of sh and chips. Shops reported their highest footfall of the year… even higher than Good Friday in many cases. 62 million people would have seen, heard or read about National Fish and Chip Day and the hashtag was #1 on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook from 8am until 8pm. Thank Cod for Fish and Chips!
