Our Suppliers

We’re incredibly lucky to work with some amazing suppliers in and around Exeter and the south west:

Our menu centre around local organic vegetables & salad (& occasional fruits) from Shillingford Organics just up the road in Ide and Milestone Market Garden a few miles further away in Chudleigh. Our potatoes are grown in Devon and come via Williams Potatoes in Starcross.

The beef for our steaks comes from the Dartmoor Farmers (a co-operative incorporating around 100 small farms who focus on rare breeds including South Devon, Devon, Belted Galloway and Red Angus) via Goosemoor, who butchery unit is based just opposite Darts Farm.

Most of our wet fish comes from Flying Fish Seafoods. Based in east Cornwall they specialise in sourcing from day-boats landing into markets across the south west (our fish is mostly sourced from Newlyn, Plymouth & Brixham). For scallops we use the Hand Dived Scallop Co. in Brixham; crabs and lobsters we get direct from Greendale Farm Shop; mussels are from River Teign Shellfish & St Austell Bay.

A lot of our meat comes from Fordmore Farm Shop in Cullompton. They supply us with their own Longhorn Beef Rumps, Jacob lamb from near Sidmouth, Saddleback pork from Kentisbeare, venison from Ashill, organic chickens from Wood Green and free-range ducks from Beech Ridge.

Milk and cream come from the Jersey herd at Taw River Diary near Okehampton, whilst our cheese is from Country Cheeses in Tavistock.

Mushrooms are from Forest Funghi in Dawlish (or if we’re lucky, picked by us around Haldon Forest). Our eggs come from Random Cottage in Exeter.

Flour for our bread, pasta, pastry etc comes from the South West Grain Network via Stoate’s inShaftesburyand Fresh Flour in Ashburton.

Devonshire Food

We really value our local food heritage and love to discover and recreate local recipes. Here’s a little background on some of the dishes on our current menu.

Homity Pie

Devon’s answer to the pasty, is the Homity Pie (sometimes called a Devon Pie), a shortcrust, open pie filled with leeks & potatoes, covered in cheese and then baked in the oven.

Squab Pie

A traditional Devonshire recipe made not with pigeons but lamb or mutton combined with layers of apple & onion.

Devonshire Dumpling

A very tasty, filling and economical pudding which was popular at the start of the 1900s. A Devonshire Dumpling is a celebration of two of the county’s finest ingredients: apples & clotted cream. Traditionally an apple would be wrapped in pastry, baked in the oven, then served hot with cream on the side.

Thunder & Lightening

A Westcountry favourite of toast topped with clotted cream & finished with golden syrup.
