lovingly prepared
Chop’d is on a mercy mission to bring delicious real food into real working lives. All our salads and breakfasts are freshly made on site every morning.
When in season (usually mid may to the end of October) our lettuce is washed and cut just a few miles from the farms in Kent where it is grown. It is then transported the 40 or so miles to us for use the next day .We hope you will agree this is the freshest way we can get the finest local produce to you.
Wherever possible we work with the seasons. Every September we take the van down to Kent to pile it full of heirloom apples from Brogdale Farm, home of the National Fruit Collection. Every spring we gather bagfuls of wild garlic from the woods of West Sussex.
All our chicken comes from a single farm on the Essex/Suffolk border, is barn reared and meets farm-assured and ‘red tractor’ standards. A short hop down the M11, in Stratford, East London, it is oven roasted, just like you'd do at home. Once cool, the meat is picked from the bone by hand, and the bones simmered up into stock to use in our soups. Nothing goes to waste.
One of the reasons all our produce is on display in all our shops is to demonstrate we have nothing to hide, and everything to celebrate.
If only our high-street peers could boast the same.
