Are there any Charcoal makers in Suffolk Norfolk or Essex area

[Dan Maynard]

Lady in our village has opened a small deli on three afternoons a week, quality really good and prices to match. Seems pretty busy so far though, we've bought some stuff because it's good, and if you factor in not driving to the supermarket the price is not bad either.

 

She has charcoal which comes from Norfolk, apparently the supplier uses their own wood so provenance guaranteed, whereas other suppliers she tried couldn't or didn't answer when asked where the wood was from as quite a bit is imported.

 

I could probably find out where it's from but working away at the moment.

"factor in fuel" last time I looked the car was 20p a mile in fuel, something like that, makes local shops affordable if you are just popping out for a pint of milk (or similar).

 

Charcoal - yup, if you can get it 'where the suckers gather' then you are set OK - some of us have a budget to watch, some of us don't and some of us with a good budget like to feel good about local stuff even if it costs a little bit more
