The fact that Sawston Budgens is a independent retailer means that we can be selective about our suppliers. We have chosen to put great emphasis on offering locally produced, premium quality foods from established local suppliers. Amongst other things, this sets us apart from the supermarkets run by the large national chains: indistinguishable and formulaic in nature and employing a ‘enormous centralised distribution centre’ model. We share this philosophy – belief in locally produced food - with the Tastes of Anglia organisation. The benefits of these aims extend beyond the reduction in food miles. The greater range of suppliers offer a greater range of tastes and culinary delights. We are sure the discerning people of Sawston agree with our philosophy. Please use the introductions and links on this page to find out more information on each of these points. That said, Sawston Budgens offers a wide range of great value Budgens products, which again have to meet very high standards. Please use the summaries and external links provided on this page to further investigate the authenticity of our claims for our products.
