Introducing Bernadette McCarthy, and her range of delicious and convenient nutroasts.
Bernadette enjoys living in the small market town of Newport in Shropshire with her partner, John, and their beloved Irish setter, Polly. She has always loved cooking for family and friends and in recent years she has enjoyed experimenting with vegetarian cooking more and more, but she has often wished that she had access to more traditional vegetarian 'easy meals', especially for those busy times when preparing dinners for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians at the same time.

All Bernadette`s nutroasts are handmade using the freshest ingredients. They have drawn great interest from the cookery and vegetarian communities, especially since they reached the final of the Waitrose Small Producers Awards in 2006.

THE BLOG BIT (updated 19th May 2012)

Several exciting developments!

We're pleased to announce that the brilliant Real Food Company, of Alsager, Cheshire, are now stocking our nutroasts. Pop in if you want any advice about nutrition – Carol and Nick are really knowledgeable. (And buy a nutroast while you’re there.)

Closer to home, we’re delighted to welcome the opening of a delicatessen section at Verona’s café, here in Newport, where our nutroasts are also available. It’s a lovely venue for lunch or just a snack and all Verona’s food is special. They’re at 128, High Street.

Next, Whole Foods Market, the world’s leading natural and organic foods supermarket, has just opened a new store in Piccadilly, and our nutroasts are there too. You'll find them in the freezers.

Finally, another terrific, innovative London retailer, the People's Supermarket in Lamb's Conduit Street, Bloomsbury, will be stocking our products from next weekend onwards. Bernadette's sister, Lousie, will be there on Saturday 26th doing tastings from 11.30 till 3.00. For other stockists, see the Where To Find Our Nutroasts page.

Online sales are available but due to postage costs we have to ask for a minimum order of 3 x 500g or 4 x 350g. Free delivery is available if you order twelve or more nutroasts but please do this by phone. We also offer free delivery on orders of 8 or more to members of the Vegetarian Society. Again, please arrange by phone. For further details see "Shipping and Returns" page. TRADE ORDERS ARE VERY WELCOME. (CATERERS, WE CAN PROVIDE EASY SOLUTIONS FOR YOU AT £1 PER SERVING IF YOU ORDER IN BULK!) JUST PHONE JOHN ON 01952 813767.

A huge thank you to our many loyal customers. We hope you will all be able to buy your Thank Goodness Nutroasts from a shop near you very soon!
