Great taste

CAMBROOK NUTS ARE SPECIALIST NUT MANUFACTURERS WHO CELEBRATED THEIR 10TH ANNIVERSARY IN 2022. DURING THIS TIME, CAMBROOK HAVE WON MULTIPLE ‘GREAT TASTE AWARDS’ AND, AS A RESULT, HAVE BEEN GRANTED ‘GREAT TASTE PRODUCER’ STATUS.

The company’s experience in sourcing nuts, combined with its BRC accredited manufacturing capabilities, puts it in a very strong position to offer exceptional quality at competitive prices. This is the reason why you will find Cambrook nuts served at the likes of Claridge’s, The Ritz, The Dorchester, The Savoy, Fullers Pub Group, City Pubs and Wadworth and Co.

Product innovation is a key factor in the company’s success and, as a supplier to famous hotels, the team at Cambrook have worked closely over many years with several chefs to develop a unique collection of nut mixes. All of this amounts to a fantastic opportunity for pubs and bars to offer something special and increase their revenue. Deborah Bradfield, Cambrook’s Sales & Marketing Manager, comments,

“I often hear from our pub customers that the bar staff willingly promote and sell the nut mixes, as the customer feedback is so good.”

Cambrook can play a part in this as well by providing display stands for customers who want to serve their 45g packets, as well as offering complimentary Kilner storage jars for those customers who choose to buy in 1kg bulk bags and serve in small dishes. This is becoming increasingly popular as the profit margins are often higher and the packaging is less. Deborah goes on to say, “The Cambrook nut mixes displayed in Kilner jars behind the bar are very eye-catching and pretty much sell themselves. Customers can literally see the quality and it grabs their interest.”

While the more traditional nuts remain ever popular (eg. peanuts, dry roasted), there is an increasing consumer trend to become more adventurous in their choices. “We have found there is a growing demand for our nut mixes with spicy, sweet and savoury combinations, which is one of our specialities and which is driving incremental revenue at the bar” says Deborah. Other popular mixes contain giant chilli corn, hickory smoked nuts, truffle nuts, and nuts seasoned with chilli and lime. Cambrook’s extensive nut range is complemented by their snack offering, which includes wasabi peas, black pepper crackers, Japanese rice crackers, pretzels, cheese crackers and giant chilli corn. www.cambrookfoods.co.uk

In 2021, Cambrook embarked on a goal to eliminate single use plastic and can now proudly say that all of its packaging, whether plastic or glass, is now recyclable.
