‘Local’ is key ingredient for new Chester sandwich shop.

Feb 12 2010 by David Holmes, Chester Chronicle

CHESHIRE Sandwich Company owner Dave Roach says the new business lives up to its name by sourcing local award-winning produce.

Dave, 40, whose company is in Chester’s Godstall Lane, opposite Dutton’s, is supplied by the award-winning Cheese Shop in Northgate Street and award-winning meat from a farm shop in Nantwich.

He said: “I’m from a farming background in Nantwich originally but live in Chester now and I wanted to support local farmers.

“My friend has a farm shop so I’m using locally supplied meat and it’s really good quality.”

Dave decided to set up the sandwich shop after taking voluntary redundancy from Unilever at Port Sunlight where he had worked for 15 years.

“I wanted to have a go at running my own business,” added Dave.

In addition, to the popular fillings, he sells a range of seafood and vegetarian sandwiches. Soon he will be providing ‘breakfast pots’ with offerings such as mornflake muesli and Cheshire yoghurt from Tarporley. In summer health-conscious customers will be able to buy salads freshly tossed in dressing.
