We believe that what grows together on land and around our shores, goes together on the plate.
Eating British fruits and vegetables in season is good for you. Foods in season contain the nutrients, minerals and trace elements that our bodies need at particular times of the year.
Being from farming stock ourselves, located in the heart of rural Herefordshire means we are not only spoilt for choice, but we know what’s good, and when. Often the best, freshest produce arrives at our back door from our neighbours and local suppliers. From farming, to fishing, to foraging, we work closely with the land.
As the seasons evolve in and around our shores, so does the produce arriving at our door. As a guide we reflect the produce at its best, whenever that may be. Below is a guide.
