Our Producers
Annabel’s Deliciously British Strawberries
Fifth generation farmer, Annabel Makin-Jones is the founder of Annabel’s Deliciously British. A Yorkshire farmer and advocate of quality British products, their small team of growers produce our fresh British strawberries, known for their quality and unbeatable flavour. Farmers at heart, they value their land, countryside and the fruit they produce.
DONAS DO CAFÉ (Women in Coffee)
Donas do Café is a premium single-origin coffee grown by three skilled female farmers in Brazil. The blend celebrates the growth of women’s involvement in the coffee industry and their demand for high-quality coffee. With notes of butterscotch, toffee and grapefruit, each sip supports sustainable coffee production, empowering female farmers and promoting ethical practices.
Croftpak Nurseries
Established in Tarleton, Lancashire in 1946 by the Ascroft family, Croftpak are the growers behind our fresh tomatoes. As one of our long-standing producers, they grow a wide range of British tomatoes in glasshouses, protected from the cold they’re able to soak up the sunshine meaning for a flavour bursting with freshness.

Seasonal food is food at its best: fresh, delicious and plentiful. In Café 1847 we embrace the changing seasons and believe in supporting our local suppliers wherever possible. Our menu will change to follow the flavours of the season, from scrumptious strawberries in spring to warming root vegetables in autumn.

Our Heritage
Our founder, Edwin Henry Booth had one simple aim, ‘’To sell the best goods he could buy in shops staffed with first-class assistants’’.
Our story began in 1847, when tea dealer Edwin Henry Booth, then aged 19, opened The China House in Blackpool with a loan of £80 to purchase his stock. Just three months later, he repaid the debt and made a profit of £50. As he extended his stock he became even more successful, and in 1863 we moved into the wine and spirits trade before opening our first cafés in 1902.
Since then, we’ve grown significantly, continuing to source the best food and drink available, whether it’s the best of the region, or simply the best of its type. Our founding philosophy remains the same and we’re proud to call ourselves The Good Grocer.
