Pet store customers offered healthy treats for themselves ...as well as their pets!

Visitors to the award-winning Scampers Natural Pet Store in Cambridgeshire will now be able to buy a healthy treat for themselves as well as their pets thanks to a new start-up business called The Allotment Catering Company.
From a converted vintage horsebox in the car park at Scampers, Suzie Crippen from The Allotment Catering Company will be tempting customers with a wide selection of natural snacks and drinks every Thursday to Sunday from 10am until 4pm.
Piers Smart, managing director of Scampers, said: “It's a great addition to our business and fits with our thinking. We have had loads of burger wagons wanting to come on site but said no every time.”
 The Allotment Catering Company is a new venture that Suzie started in December, and it offers Fair Trade, organic ingredients and uses only eco-friendly and disposable food packaging, which is 100% biodegradable, compostable and sustainable.
“After our customers have shopped and are ready to drop, they can refuel with one of Suzie’s Grumpy Mule organic coffees or Fair Trade herbal teas,” added Piers.
Also on the menu are fresh organic soups, baked breads andf cakes. Suzie’s products are all homemade and, where possible, locally sourced and organic.
Suzie came up the idea of The Allotment Catering Company after becoming ill a few years ago.
“Because of my illness I changed my diet and started eating healthy meals,” she said. “It also got me thinking about the catering industry, which I’d worked in for a number of years. I thought it would be different to come up with a healthier alternative to burger vans and fast foot outlets.
“The reaction to the customers at Scampers has so far been great, and I can’t thank Piers enough for giving me this opportunity.”
Piers admitted he was really pleased to welcome Suzie to Scampers. “The Allotment Catering Company offer natural and healthy, just like the treats you buy for your pets at Scampers,” he said.
Scampers Natural Pet Store is located on the A142 Soham By Pass, between Ely and Newmarket and only 15 miles from Cambridge.
