Everything is British. All of it.
Not mostly. Not where practical. Every ingredient in this building comes from a British producer, and the list of things we therefore cannot serve is longer than you would think.
In, and very much out.
What we serve
- British beef, pork, lamb, venison and chicken
- British milk, butter, cream and eggs
- British vegetables and fruit, in season
- British cooking oils — rapeseed, not olive
- British flour, including in the pizza dough
- British wine, from Knollbury Fort
- British beer, cider and spirits, from Hawkstone
- British birthday cakes. Genuinely.
What we will not
- Coca-Cola, and every well-known American soft drink
- Coffee — it does not grow here
- Black pepper — nor does that
- Avocado
- Olive oil
- Ketchup, at launch, which caused a national argument
- Anything we cannot trace to a named British producer
Why a rule this stupid is worth keeping.
Every argument against it is correct. It costs more. It limits the menu. It means no coffee, which loses us money every single morning. It means explaining to somebody, several times a day, that there is no Coke.
And it is still worth it, because it is the only version of "supporting British farming" that survives contact with a purchase order. Anybody can put a flag on a menu. Refusing to serve coffee is a position you actually have to hold, in public, to a person who wants a coffee.
It also means every producer supplying this kitchen is a British business getting paid. That is not a marketing outcome. That is the entire outcome.
Fire has been helping humans cook food for roughly 400,000 years. We thought it seemed a shame to stop now. The Farmer's Dog
See what it produces.
The menu that rule generates, and the prices it costs.
What people actually ask.
The two questions this page gets most, answered without a support ticket.
Tables release on the first of the month for the whole of the following month, online only. There is no telephone. There never was.
Every ingredient on the menu is from these islands. It is the whole point of the place, and it is the reason there is no lemon in the gin and tonic.
