Who We Are

‘Local’ has become a bit of a buzzword but at Warner’s Budgens we have been championing local producers since the day we opened in 2007. This means that as well as offering a wide range of everyday essentials at supermarket prices, we also stock hundreds of locally-produced items, many award-winning, and all personally sourced by us. Guy Warner, the owner of Warner’s Budgens, strongly believes that supporting local producers in this way brings benefits to our customers, in terms of quality and choice, as well as to the local economy. Our commitment to reducing food miles means that we try to source seasonal fruit and vegetables from British and local growers and we offer 100% British own-brand meat alongside our local meat ranges. We have developed firm and lasting relationships with many local producers who have showcased their produce in our stores and we are proud to have been part of their journey.

Local produce is celebrated every month through our Warner’s Taste Club, a free to join club for food and drink lovers everywhere. Each month, Taste Club brings you exclusive offers on local products, money-off dining vouchers for local restaurants and pubs, plus access to a whole host of Taste Club food and drink events. These exclusive offers are redeemable in a wide range of local shops, including Co-op Food Market stores, farm shops, restaurants, pubs and often direct from the suppliers themselves.

From day one, Warner’s Budgens set out to be a community-focused supermarket and we continue to make real contributions to the community in a whole variety of ways. Our Community Savings Scheme has been running for over ten years and to date has raised in excess of £50,000 for local good causes.
