Our Local Suppliers

Apart from the produce we grow and rear on the premises, we also have a 'buy local' policy wherever possible. We select from the best westcountry growers, producers and brewers, ensuring that the food and drink we serve has as few 'food miles' as is possible.

THE LAZY TOAD

Our small flock of Indian Runner ducks have now settled in and been increased by the addition of some home hatched black runners - these are just starting to come into lay, whilst the polytunnel is producing - coriander, mustard spinach, spinach and some salad leaves including mizuna.

Sheep - we will soon be acquiring a new batch of black welsh mountain ewes and lambs to do their job keeping the grass shorn and will later feature on autumn menus.
