Our approach to food
The kitchen takes a “best of British” approach. The menu has small plates, pub classics and showstopper cuts of quality meat from the grill, made with produce from the suppliers below.
Best of British
Best of British – where our food comes from
We buy from people whose names we know, and whose produce is worth the journey.
Peter Cooks Bread
Bread · Bromyard
Bread made slowly by hand from four things: flour, water, wild yeast and salt. Peter has won Britain’s Best Loaf and Slow Food UK’s producer of the year, and one of his loaves is made with wheat grown and milled at The Fold, here in Bransford.
Worcester Produce
Fruit & veg · Pershore
Fruit and veg out of the Vale of Evesham. Their own nursery grows a good deal of it, and the rest comes from growers they have worked with for years across the Vale and into Herefordshire.
Cotteswold Dairy
Dairy · Tewkesbury
A family dairy started by Harry Workman in 1938 and still run by the family. Their milk and cream come from more than forty local farms.
Kingfisher Midlands
Fish · Birmingham
Delivering fresh fish caught on the day, every day. Kingfisher offer quality and consistency.
Bob Preston
Butcher · Chipping Norton
Bob has a long history of running family butchers, most recently Lambournes in Stow-on-the-Wold. Operating out of The Chequers, he butchers a range of locally sourced animals, ensuring that we get to use the full beast, nose to tail.
SaltPig Curing Co.
Charcuterie · Chipping Norton
One of the best meat curers in the country. They use only the best pigs in Britain, with a nose to tail approach ensuring nothing goes to waste. The quality speaks for itself.
Cacklebean Eggs
Eggs · Stow-on-the-Wold
Based on the family run Cackleberry Farm, these eggs are free range gems from rare breed flocks that live on twelve acres of land in the Cotswolds.
Aurox
Meat · Dorset
Some of the best meat we have tried, from the most ethical farms available. They are committed to using animals that have had long, happy lives, and this shows in the final product.
Wye Valley Produce
Asparagus
Our sister pubs
Chipping Norton · Burford
The Chequers and The Mermaid. The kitchen at The Chequers preps for all three pubs and Bob’s butchery is there, and the three of us lend each other a hand whenever one needs it.
