new restaurant

[Fran]

I see the new restaurant in Bridge Street, Wick opens up at 7.30. this morning, wednesday. Is it going to be busy at that time of day? I dont think so, but I wish them luck with their new venture.

Saw the co-op delivery van delivering the other day, I just hope they are using local suppliers as opposed to supermarkets! Our local shops could do with the business.

Maybe not but shouldnt ALL local business' support each other?
After all what is the point of going to a restaurant if they are going to serve the same quality of meat that we can all buy (at cheap prices).
Business' shouldnt use supermarkets as they are there for the consumer not the retailer.
At the end of the day you can get a great deal from your local butcher,fish shop etc as I know I did when i ran kitchens. The meat and fish was local and got a great deal, and at least i could state the origin of my products, which is very important to the consumer.

I am not trying to put a dampner on any new business, just hope that they support local business' and dont resort to buying cut price food from supermarkets that alot of business' do. I would certainly pay extra if I knew it was going back into the local business' as opposed to shareholders dividends and I am not alone in that.

Its a romantic thought to use Local businesses to supply them, but the fact of life goes with............... if u running a business you are trying to make money, so the cheapest wins regardless of where it comes from, and thats the way it should be.

Nice looking inside too.

No it is not romantic it is sensible! So you are saying you would rather see local suppliers out of business? I would rather spend my money in a business where, like Hotrod says, they can tell me where the raw materials for their cooking came from! You get what you pay for!

I had to do it for a nursing home and I only gave them 100% fresh supplies that came from local suppliers.(made my own bread,Ice cream,chips etc as most were on strict diets and I prefer 100%)
I was on a mega tight budget but did a deal with the Butcher that I would use him exclusively and he was brilliant with us. Bought my fish every friday from the blackstairs and they did me a good deal and double checked for small bones for the old folk.
Couldnt praise George harper or the fish shop any higher as they appreciated the business I put their way and were always fair with their prices.(even undercut the supermarkets!)
Bought alot of my dry goods from Sutherland bros to keep things local.
If I could do it in a non-profit way then so can a business who actually charge for their food!!!

As I said i wish any new local business luck and hope that they stay local.
