R&V is a small team of dedicated foodies, trying to make a big change to how Manchester eats lunch.
The founder, Simon, comes from two lines of farmers who worked hard to grow the best food that nature can offer, and since 2018, we’ve been bringing all the flavour of those simple, quality products, inspired by French and Belgian cuisine.
Our Values
NATURAL FOOD
We believe food is the best way to reconnect people with nature. Our goal is to use only natural ingredients, prepared fresh in our kitchen each morning without any unnatural additives, preservatives or flavour enhancers.
AUTHENTICITY
We like to know exactly what we’re eating. Because we’re proud of the food we sell and the suppliers we work with, we’ll tell you all you need to know about the sourcing of our food. Everything is procured as locally as possible, using tons of great ingredients from farms in Cheshire and Lancashire.
PLEASURE
We want to bring you the best food and nothing else. Nature is full of flavour, and our innovative recipes are made to bring you all of the flavour of simple, natural food in every single bite.
Our Producers
Our Bread
Each ciabatta, French baguette and pastry is handcrafted with passion at the amazing La Chouquette in Didsbury.
Our Veg
The Hunter family has lovingly grown the carrots we use in our soup and sandwiches on Blackgate Lane Farm in Lancashire for four generations.
Our Meat
The Unsworth brothers in Salford locally source only the finest Cheshire legs of pork to roast for our premium ham.
Our Eggs
Every egg we cook comes from the free-roaming hens on Freshfields Farm in Cheshire, less than 35 miles from our Oxford Street store, where high standards of welfare and a balanced, vegetarian diet give us a perfect yellow yolk every time.
Our Cakes
Most of our cakes come from award winning Silver Apples Bakery, Stockport. With a focus on sustainability, their vision is simple: to create high-quality baked goods, that are entirely handmade, hand-finished, and made – wherever possible – with locally-sourced ingredients
Our Salad
The crisp, crunchy leaves in our salads and sandwiches are grown by Roy Halman, the fourth of five generations of his family working on the 123-year-old Woodland Farm in Cheshire.
