At Oakman Inns we put a lot of time and effort into doing things the right way, not because it’s trendy but because it’s who we are. We know that great food doesn’t just happen by accident. Nor does it happen on its own – it’s a heady combination of an expert kitchen team supplied with great quality ingredients.
Each of our suppliers has been chosen because not only do their ingredients meet those high standards, but the ethos behind their origins matches our own focus on sustainability and animal welfare.
Our suppliers include:
Stickleback Fish
As a company with strong sustainable values, Stickleback Fish work closely with their suppliers to ensure that the products delivered to our kitchens is of the highest quality and responsibly sourced. They work to protect the natural environment and seafood stocks for the future by following the guidelines set by the Marine Conservation Society (MCS).
UCC COFFEE
From hand-roasted to bespoke blends, the speciality coffee beans supplied by UCC Coffee are carefully cultivated at microlot plantations in the Americas and Caribbean. Renowned for their full-bodied flavours and intense aromas, the coffee beans that form the basis of our range of drinks – from our smooth lattes to foamy cappuccinos – are Fairtrade certified and 100% traceable to origin.
Jude's Ice Cream
Back in 2002, Jude’s husband began hand-churning and mixing ice cream in a Hampshire dairy barn, using milk from local cows. Named after his wife, Jude, what started as a hobby soon became a family enterprise and now Jude’s has a range of delicious flavours. The company is also committed to giving 10% of their profits to charities that support children and young people.

Beginning in 1945 as a fruit and vegetable stall in East London, Reynolds has grown to become a renowned national greengrocer while still retaining its heritage as a family business. Sourcing British produce when available, Reynolds supports local farming and ensures that seasonal home-grown food can be traced from field to fork.
