"The future will be green, or not at all. This truth lies at the heart of humankind's most pressing challenge: to learn to live in harmony with the Earth on a genuinely sustainable basis." Sir Jonathon Porritt, environmentalist
 We pride ourselves on using all local suppliers.
Our local farm shop, Dyke Farm, in Pulborough, 3 miles away, is run by Richard & Lynne Martin and this has been their livelihood for nearly ten years.
Everything they supply us is of the highest standards, and what isn't grown personally by Richard comes from other local establishments and in some cases Covent Garden.
Our breads are supplied from the Model Bakery (via the farm shop) in Steyning which is 10 miles away. They produce a large variety of wonderful breads, and it is their Bloomer loaves that are used for our delicious sandwiches in the evening.
Fish also comes from the Farm Shop, through Dyke Farm Fish, and this is delivered fresh from Grimsby.
Our butcher, Simon Thornton of Andrew Charles in Godalming has 23 years experience. All the meat he supplies is free range and GM free. His chickens are Brookland Whites from Lodge Farm in Godstone, and the pork is also supplied to him locally through Plantation Pigs in Shackleford. They use traditional ginger and blackhaired breeds, the sows are good mothers and rear their litters with the minimum of intervention from their stockmen. The lamb, is fed on kelp and is from the Isle of Lewes and his beef is from Aberdeenshire. He supplies the delicious whole pigs that we use for our 'hog' roasts', & will also provide a range of stuffings for the whole roasts as required.
Sausages - they come from O'Hagan's near Chichester. No artificial anything they say and you can taste the difference. & such an amazing selection to choose from.
Caroline's Dairy hand makes real dairy ice cream on their dairy farm in Sidlesham, just south of Chichester. The ice cream is made in small batches using their own milk and local fruit. They were awarded the Sussex Food Producer of the Year 2010/2011 which says it all.
& the coffee at the end of your meal - 'Fair Trade' of course.
Recycling - we always recycle everything possible. Glass, paper, card and none of our food goes to waste. We can't share what is left over with our clients, but our kitchen and waiting staff certainly never go hungry!
& we have hired an environmental consultant who is advising us on reducing utility usage and organising an environmental overview for us.
