Kelp & Sea Spaghetti Salad

In the UK seaweed is delicious, available in our oceans in abundance and unfortunately underutilised, meaning it’s farmed and exported to other countries, like East Asia. It’s predicted to be one of the biggest growing food trends over the next year, so is an ingredient we’re keen to introduce more of in our menus. Being packed with vitamins and minerals, seaweed also has a huge health benefits.

Dorset Snails & Porridge Sourdough

Snails are an amazing ingredient with many health benefits and one you don’t see on British menu’s every day. Farmed for us in Dorset, it’s a fantastic summer ingredient.

Spider Crab, Sea Beets and Apple

The Spider Crab is an invasive species in the UK. Originating from Japan, it’s arriving on our coasts, in particular our South Coast and disrupting our ecosystems. They’re arriving in armies. Hundreds of thousands of them wiping out our native oysters and mussels.

Using this ingredient across the UK will reduce numbers of this non-native species.

Wood Pidgeon, Girolles & Sorrel Cream

Pidgeon is the key ingredient in this dish. Perfectly in season late summer, coming into early Autumn. This is another ingredient we’ve chosen as it’s hugely underutilised, despite being available in abundance across the UK.

Shropshire Goat, Bone Marrow & Chestnut Gnocchi

Goats milk and goats cheese continuing to increase in popularity, we’re not used to eating goat meat as part of our diet. Tens of thousands of goats are produced in the UK every year, then the meat exported to the four corners of the world. It’s a true shame as it really is a beautiful product and after tasting this dish, we hope you agree.

Baron Bigod

This beautiful cheese is produced by a family run farm in Suffolk. We believe in supporting the small scale independent British farms, with a maximum heard of 250 cattle. Another reason we love Fen Farm is because they also use sustainable methods to create their produce.
