Q. I already source my drinks from Marston's; what do I do now?

It's up to you whether you would like to switch to securing your supply from Marston's through the Epicurean Market Place, or whether you would prefer to secure your supply direct.

Marston's offer the same service to all its accounts, so by switching you would continue to be benefitting from the same operational expertise and additional support. We recommend that you compare the products and pricing under your pre-existing deal with Marston's and what the Epicurean Club has secured. The Epicurean Market Place's partnership with Marston's has secured especially competitive prices.

Q. I'm a big believer in supporting local; why should I switch to Marston's?

We completely understand, and this is also an important part of The Epicurean Club's ethos. We chose to partner with Marston's because we believe that they share these values. Many of Marston's artisanal products available to you through the Epicurean Market Place are sourced locally in the UK.

Additionally, Marston's regional delivery hubs allow you to benefit from all the flexibility of a local supplier, while still benefitting from the extensive support and competitive pricing of a nationwide model.

If you can't find any of your local products through Marston's, you only have to ask and we should be able to get these added to the offering - by doing so you will be helping others order your favourite local produce.
