Our core ingredients are those grown and produced within 10 miles of the venue so, naturally, our menus are driven by what is in season – starting with fruit, veg and herbs. From there, we use other raw ingredients, such as nuts and spices, to build layers of flavour. Honey is our main sweetener. We source organic eggs and high welfare meat from small farms that use regenerative farming practices to rear rare breeds, with a view that small amounts of animal products can be part of a sustainable approach to food. Reducing food waste is something we are equally passionate about so we do our best to use whole ingredients, whether that’s using the leafy tops from our carrots or rendering meat fat to use as lard. We also source ‘waste’ from local food companies, such as whey – the by-product of cheese making.

Working within this framework is tricky, especially in the city, but we see it as an opportunity to get creative. And a chance to collaborate with an incredible range of small producers, from beekeeping cooperatives and small city farms to high-tech hydroponics farms growing in shipping containers. Where raw ingredients cannot be found within our radius, we extend our sourcing to include ingredients that fit within our ethical framework. We mean food producers that support regenerative farming, community projects or indie producers from where we already source a waste product. For example, we use flour milled within our radius but grown from heritage grains elsewhere in England. At every supper club we share the story of our ingredients and hope to inspire you to source more ingredients in your local area.
