Veg Van Pizza and local fruit!

I’ve recently been craving pizza. Have you? I’ve decided it doesn’t really matter what you put on it either as long as there’s tomato sauce and a bit or cheese! Check out my recipe below.

We’ve got a great new part-time supplier on board! We’re getting some lovely fruit from a friends back garden – it’s organic and has been transported by Electric Van! She’s supplied us with Plums, Greengages, Blackberries and Bramley Apples. Do come and have a look at what’s we’ve got on the Van!

Sutton Community Farm keep supplying us with some great local produce too! With  Basil , Beetroot, Blackberries, Bramley Apples, Broad Beans, French Beans, Runner Beans, Broccoli, Carrots, Cauliflower, Courgettes,  Kale, Red Onions,  Yellow Plums , Potatoes, Raspberries and Spinach all from just down the road!

Cheaper than Sainsbury’s!
95% of our produce is cheaper than Sainsbury’s! You can’t get better than that!

Method
