ith more than 12,000 members and 4000 daily visitors, this park has many mouths to feed! It’s no surprise they have a dedicated team of caterers to work
across eight on-site restaurants serving everything from hot dogs and BBQs to salads and vegan dishes. Food accounts for a third of total turnover at the park and is primary to visitors’ enjoyment. Commercial Director, Craig Whitnall said, “Our product range and food quality has improved since switching to JJ. “It has helped us to create a menu for families at a price that they can afford.” JJ supplies 90% of the products on the tempting menu, including everything from buns and burgers to soft drinks and fries. Prices at the park start from just £5.90 for a burger and chips. “Our Head Chef places orders online for next day delivery and the service is great – drivers are friendly and professional. They even help us to put products away,” said Craig. Conservation Programmes The Park is home to more than 800 animals including the largest anaconda in the UK on show to the public, and many important international breeding programmes. “Sustainability is very important to us,” said Craig. “And it’s not just about the animals. By working with JJ’s, we’ve been able to move towards biodegradable packaging for all our food,” he added. “We have improved as a business since working with JJ Foodservice and look forward to having a long relationship with them,” he added.
