Sean Fletcher, Good Morning Britain host, has recently undertaken a filming project, described as a ‘treat for food fanatics’. The series, Food Fest Wales, available on BBC iPlayer, puts a microscope on the interest in and importance of local produce.
Inspired when visiting Abergavenny Food Festival, Sean Fletcher realised that his eating and purchasing habits could change in order to benefit both himself and the local community.
In fact, the website ‘betterfood.co.uk’ listed a selection of obvious benefits about eating locally. The website states higher quality of food, higher levels of nutrition, seasonal eating, investment in the community and environmental benefits as three overwhelming advantages of changing your habits to support local suppliers over other choices.
A free house owner-operator, currently selling his delightful village green property in Mamble, Worcestershire, has championed local produce and suppliers more than most. Roger Carr, who has owned the Sun & Slipper for 28 years, knows the importance of supporting his fellow business owners in Worcestershire and beyond. Carr’s business has thrived over the last quarter century using this method of operating. Roger told us, ‘I believe in continuity. Our vegetables and fruit are grown by a local gardener, and we use local game.

Roger, whose father ran a pub, has loved his varied career in the hospitality industry. His work as chef has taken him to London, Abu Dhabi, Bermuda, and Northern Ireland, to name a few. Now approaching retirement, he is ready to hand over the Sun & Slipper to someone who is excited to continue running the pub and restaurant and enjoy the spoils that come with the role.
