Our Suppliers
Mark Jones
Despite having Smithfield market over the road we are interested in complete
traceability and use a Welsh butcher who delivers produce to us himself.
We feel sure you will be impressed with the quality of his lamb, Gloucester
Old Spot Pork as well as his hand reared organic chicken.
Organic Chicken
"I have been using the
same supplier for the past eight years - Craig
Farm, Dolau, Llandrindod Wells, Powys. The birds are reared from day
one on a special feed which consists of cereal, grain, vegetable
protein and a vitamin/mineral supplement. All feed is guaranteed to
be
free from genetically modified feedstuffs. The birds are reared in
small groups in six acres of farmland. They are free to roam during
the
day and are put in at night to roost. The birds are slaughtered on
the
farm and allowed to mature for twenty four hours."
Welsh Free Range Lamb
"I buy my lambs mostly from Skirid Farm, Libinus, Brecon, Powys.
I
use black mountain lamb crossed with the Aran...you just can't beat
it.
The lamb wanders for miles over the Brecon Beacons eating the wild
grass, herbs and heather while also licking the rocks for natural
minerals. The lambs are all roughly 22 Kg and are hung for ten days."
Gloucester Old Spot Pork
"I have been using GOS pigs for nine years, all from the same supplier
- Wendy's Farm, The Paddock, Bishops Lane, Brecon. This is a small
farm
which produces free range chickens and free range GOS Pork. The farm
produces about ten pigs a week and I take them all.
The breed originated from the apple orchards of Gloucester. They are
very lazy pigs but the best tasting as the meat is a little sweeter.
Their feed is mostly vegetables from local farms and also the odd
chicken egg when they steal them!"
Pastificio Caponi
Egg noodle pasta from Pastificio Caponi from Pisa who have spent the last 40
years perfecting artisanal pasta making. Dried at ambient temperatures which
takes 4 days.
Secretts
A farm in Godalming, Surrey supply us with their produce which they grow
without the use of fertilizer or pesticides. We know the farmer personally
and recommend their heirloom varieties of beetroot, onions and potatoes amongst
others.
Alain Milliat
Alain Milliat is a French luxury fruit juice producer. He has been known to
us for 4 years and insists on strict sourcing and production policies. Indeed
he searches for the best quality fruit such as mangoes from Cameroon and
apricots from the Loire valley
Other
Chocolates - Traditional Mazet de Montargis for those of you who prefer the
connoisseurs nougat with almonds cooked in caramel to Valrona which is used
by our pastry chef. We also have a supplier in Devon who conches and blends
the chocolate down there.
Other suppliers include Wild Harvest who deliver Charolais Beef and Macchiavelli
who bring an assortment of goods direct from Italy. But a visit to the food hall
is the only way you can get a real idea of our exclusive product range. As literal
food for thought we have Donald Russell traditionally reared beef, Malones Irish
Stout Beef, Summer Isles Smoked Sliced Wild Venison, Jurgen Langbein Lamb Stock,
Barry's Irish Tea, Coffee from the Monmouth Company, Vermont Fairgirl Pancake Mix,
100% Organic Brown rice noodles, Southern Alps Wheat Free Muesli or if you just
need some good herbs and spices, a packet of biscuits or a jar of jam it is all
here we promise!
