Meet the suppliers
Stewarts of Trent Bridge’s story starts with Nottingham coffee visionary Stewart Falconer, hand roasting coffee in the 80’s, before the word “artisan” even existed. After a few cups of the good stuff during his travels abroad, he made it his mission to make quality coffee the norm, not the exception. Stewarts are proud to carry on his tradition!
“We try our hardest to ensure not only that our coffee tastes amazing, but that it is as kind to the planet, and its people as possible. We make sure our raw coffee beans are sourced from suppliers that work directly with local communities, we then roast these beans to absolute perfection in our Sneinton Market roastery in Nottingham city centre – using the original roaster Stewart bought for the job all those years ago!”
