Luscombe ButchersWe’ve been with Luscombe’s since we started – they provide us with locally reared Beef and lamb and occasionally other meat too. It’s great to have a small local business to source our meat knowing that they get their produce from Devon and from small farms with the same ethos as us.

Dragonfly FoodsWe source as many of our ingredients locally as we can. Vegan protein is harder but we have found a way to at least support another local business; Dragonfly Foods make delicious tofu locally which we use a great many vegan recipes.

Riverford DairyWe get our milk, curd cheese, creme fraiche, clotted cream, cottage cheese & cream from the dairy, just outside of Totnes. When the dairy industry has such a bad record, it feels good to know we get ours from such a great farm, so near to Totnes. Their products are delicious! As well as in our cooking, you will also find their products on our sweet & savoury cream teas, at the hot drinks table at any event, in a meringue or cheesecake.
