The Food Emporium concept was created by Paula and Jon Briscoe who, after successfully operating two gastro pub restaurants around the Surrey and West Sussex areas wanted to expand on their love of all things local.
Paula and Jon have always used smaller independent suppliers and producers across their menus. After discussing the difficulties facing many smaller village shops and rural public houses, a viable opportunity became evident by diversifying into retailing. Therefore, the Food Emporium concept was born! A public house incorporating a deli as well as a bar and restaurant.
It now creates the perfect stop off point for some quick shopping or the perfect location to meet with friends and family for a wonderful meal with a difference.
