In 2010 following feedback from guests the brand trialed sourcing from the local area of each individual restaurant. The trial consisted of locally sourced fish being sold as specials. The trial was met with mixed reviews especially in Cornwall where majority of guests were more interested in seeing local speciallity dishes being added to/offered as an option on the menu, such as Cornish Clotted Cream.
