STEVENSON’S TOP PRODUCERS

T J ROBERTS & SON

“This fantastic butcher in Bala sources a lot of our Welsh produce and ages meat to spec for us. They’ve been with us since day one and helped us develop the hotel’s breakfast sausage, which is bespoke to us.” welshqualitymeat.co.uk

STORI BEERS AND WINES “At this beer and tap shop in Bala they’re fiercely proud of their craft beers, especially the Welsh ones. They also stock Welsh wines, gins and whiskies. They’ve just bought the licensing for the Dinorwig Distillery, which produces one of our biggest-selling gins (Blue Slate Gin) and they’ll be using botanicals from our garden to help distil it.” storibeers.wales

RHUG ESTATE

“An organic farm 10 miles down the road from us.

They do just about every different type of lamb — salt marsh, spring, summer, milk-fed — and they’ve also got fantastic organic white chickens, which have been on Great British Menu. There’s also plenty of game, such as venison, mallard and partridge. The whole farm puts a big emphasis on being green, with ground source heat pumps and solar panels need to create the energy they need.” rhug.co.uk
