A note about provenance:
We take great care to prepare our dishes using ingredients that have been traditionally harvested without the use of artificial fertilizers and growth promoters, which reflect the seasons and which support local businesses. Our wild fish comes from Cornwall and is caught on day-boats using lines or small nets. Salmon comes from the renowned Loch Duart company in Scotland, who strive to raise their fish in as natural and sustainable a manner as possible. Meat and poultry comes from local farms that pay particular attention to the welfare of their livestock. We have been raising our own pigs: look out for them on the menu, whether fresh or as bacon, ham and sausages.
