Sourcing Food

Everything is cooked to order.

Sample statement about our suppliers :
Winchcombe is perfectly located for sourcing fabulous local ingredients. The Cotswold Hills are perfect for lamb, beef, pork and game and the Vale of Evesham is rightly world famous for its plums and asparugas, and all manner of fruit and vegetables.

We pride ourselves on 'buying local' and using Dartmoor and Devon suppliers whenever we can. The quality of the raw ingredientsis vitally important to the dishes we serve. We believe it is worth paying a little more for happy and stress free animals (free-range and organic) as they produce superior quality meat. We often buy in the whole animal and butcher it ourselves, making our own sausages and using all the cuts of meat for various dishes. We always make delicious stock from the bones.

We try to buy local and organic vegetables and use what is in season. We grow most of the herbs in our own garden. We source local cheeses for our cheese board - please feel free to ask where to buy anything that you enjoyed enough to want to take some home with you.
