The kitchen

The Bistro, farm to table.

Breakfast to evening in a casual, relaxed atmosphere. Home-reared meat, free-range eggs and the freshest local ingredients.

The counter,
shelves and larder.

Dovecote Farm Shop produce on the counter: home-reared meat, eggs, chutneys, sauces and local honey

Almost everything on our menu is grown, reared, baked or made close to home, and is available to buy in our farm shop.

Fill your basket with the same produce we cook with in the bistro, and take a little Dovecote home with you.

the produce.

We keep it local on purpose. Every supplier is a farm, bakery or small maker we know personally, mostly within a few miles of the barn.
