Local Produce

Wherever possible local produce is used, especially meat which is sourced from local farms by our butcher, Malcolm Pyne. At the moment we do not have beef from our own farm but use Ruby Red beef from Bob Hall at Fordgate, North Petherton .

Our son Rob is currently rearing saddleback x large white pigs with a view to using these in the restaurant "Rob's Hogs". This is Rob's first solo enterprise on the farm/restaurant - watch out for further details on box scheme and hog roasts for the summer.

Also look out for specials - lamb from James - exclusive Clavelshay Lamb - best seller a couple of Sundays ago when on the menu for the first time.
