Our locally sourced pork from the Ashbridge family farm near Thirsk, smoked salmon from Mackenzie’s Yorkshire Smokehouse in Harrogate and award winning sausages from Lishmans of Ilkley are just some of the starting points for our food. When in season we use the following suppliers:
Potatoes from Cockerills of York, Scholes and Holme Farm.
Vegetables from Richard Morrit, Baarda, Park Lodge, Tomlinson, Poskitt and Green-Field
Cheese from Cryer & Stott of Allerton Bywater
Our milk travels from ‘TG Goodalls’ dairy herd near Wetherby and our eggs are laid in Market Weighton, Kingsly and Wood Croft. Good food starts at the source and we are proud of our Yorkshire heritage. This is reflected in our menus that marry fantastic local quality with delicious flavour combinations to stimulate any palate.
