Aims

The primary aim of this site is to promote the Ploughman’s Lunch; to help keep it alive and well as a popular dish, rather than allowing it to become a footnote in the history books.

We also aim to promote public houses, which are still closing at an alarming rate. Likewise, we support independent cafés over bland high street chains.

Promoting regional food is equally important. We have so many wonderful varieties of cheese in this country that we should not be faced with the same sweaty block of yellow wax everywhere we go. The same applies to ham and pies. We deserve good, tasty food.

Keep it local. Support British farmers, butchers, bakers, and cheesemakers.
