In response to the coronavirus pandemic, and with supermarkets continuing to experience panic buying, Norfolk’s dedicated food and drink producers are helping to ensure that local people get the items that they need by offering home delivery services, no contact pick ups and more. And more now than ever our local producers need customers to support them too.

We will be updating this list regularly, so if you are a food or drink producer who is doing things a bit differently during the coronavirus outbreak, we’d love to hear from you. Email me.

There is a freepost label attached to the back of the Eco Pouch and Bullards ask that all empty pouches get posted back to them via any Royal Mail post box (no stamp or envelope required) so that they can then ensure all empty pouches are sent to Terracycle UK to be upcycled.
