Bookham Fine Foods

Local food producer Bookham Fine Foods is gearing up for a surge in demand as Delia Smith’s latest book hits the shelves for the festive season.

‘Delia’s Happy Christmas’ is the long awaited sequel to ‘Delia Smith’s Christmas’, first published over 20 years ago. In her new book, Delia champions 18 Fine Food suppliers, including Sussex based, family run Bookham Fine Foods.

MD Rob Bookham says “We are delighted to be recognised by a culinary giant as well respected as Delia. Getting her seal of approval is a real honour. 2009 has already been an amazing year for us – we became suppliers to the National Trust and Waitrose and were also featured on BBC 2’s Hairy Bikers – but this is the icing on the cake. We have taken on more staff and ordered new vans in order to keep pace with the extra demand that this endorsement will bring.”

Thank you for your vote we now await the results of the 2009 awards.
