Local Produce
It's too easy to simply write 'we source locally' on the menu. It's too vague, but it's become ubiquitous in recent years.
Equally, menus that are sprinkled with names and places can be difficult to read. So we do our best, we choose local and seasonal when we can and here are some of our regular suppliers and producers...
Brunswick Organic Nursery just up the road in Bishopthorpe provide us with great organic salads, fruit and vegetables. They also do amazing work helping adults with learning difficulties http://www.brunswickyork.org.uk/about.php
Phil Huyton Dairyman provides us with 100% Yorkshire Free Range milk from Low Springs Farm https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/yorkshire-dairy-launches-new-free-range-dales-milk-1-8079383
Yorkshire Dama provide us with their amazing ‘halloumi’ cheese. Yorkshire Dama Cheese is a story of inspirational bravery by a woman who refused to let her circumstances define or constrain her. It is about finding a new place to call home and new experiences which has lead to the creation of a British multi-award winning cheese and dairy company.
