A cooperative of 28 family dairy farms, established in 1917, that produces award-winning aged, flavoured and traditional British cheeses using milk from grass-fed cows. Make sure you try the 18-month grass-fed vintage cheddar and the oak-smoked mature cheddar that won bronze at the World Cheese awards recently.
Island SeafareSuppliers of fine, sustainable, Manx seafood including lobster, crab and scallops – especially the famous Manx Queenies. Island Seafare export significant volumes to the French, Italian and Spanish markets and supply the fish counters of major supermarket chains such as Carrefour. Manx Lobster is caught locally using small pots in the clear waters surrounding the Island’s coast. Isle of Man Half Shell Queen Scallops are incredibly versatile, visually appealing and provide excellent plate coverage. Ideal for starters, tapas and small plates.
Ethically grown and reared on family farms Isle of Man Meats are justly famous with the Wing Rib of Beef and Rack of Lamb both excelling at the Great Taste Awards.

Look out for Hoolie Manx White Rum and Hurricane Over-proof Manx Rum. Hurricane is a blend of over-proof Hoolie rum and cask-aged rum which creates a surprisingly smooth over-proof that carries new American oak and Islay whiskey notes. Amazing in bold cocktails (think Zombie) or drunk neat as a sipping rum.
