The not-so-good news We’re also seeing other pressures starting to take effect as supply issues mean there can be shortages and delays to deliveries. There is also speculation around potential inflation rises, which will have an impact on profit margins.

As we move into the autumn there is a wealth of top ingredients to be sourced, and the range and quality of seasonal food and drink has never been better.
