Artisan producers from all over the country

Artisan Food Club

Artisan Food Club brings together the best artisan food and drink producers from across the UK, many of them too small for the traditional wholesalers, and so rarely found on a supermarket shelf.

We chose them because they do the searching for us. They search out the new brands, and trying something new carries less risk for a young shop like ours. It means the range at Tales keeps changing, with new flavours from makers you'll only find in an independent shop.

And the brands you know

We're a convenience shop first, so alongside our local producers you'll find the household names you'd expect to pick up on the way home. Pop in for the usual, leave with something special.
