Our suppliers

Our eggs come from the nearby village of Meavy where Jenny, of Meavy Maid, has her farm. Once battery hens, they are now happy free range chickens, scratching around in the fertile Dartmoor soil, breathing in the amazing clean air and taking in the stunning views. Jenny also makes all our jam and marmalade, although the Dartmoor climate means she doesn’t grow her own oranges!

All our meat  – sausages, bacon and hogs pudding – comes from our local butcher, 7 miles away in Tavistock. A traditional family butcher, all sausages are made by hand on the premises to a family recipe.“What’s hogs pudding?” I hear you ask…

Well it’s nothing like black pudding. Hogs pudding is a traditional Devon type of pork sausage but with a firmer texture and a slightly peppery taste.

Fresh fruits and vegetables come from our local supplier in Tavistock.

 Although everything may not be organic, it is fresh and full of flavour.

We even bake our own bread every day, so we know exactly what goes into it, plus it makes the toastiest toast! 

Last but by no means least – coffee. Life is too short for bad coffee, so we only use the highest quality beans, roasted less than five miles away in Horrabridge by Dartmoor Coffee – freshly ground to order for every cup.

The Ashburton Cookery School in Devon is one of the UK’s top cookery schools offering inspirational cookery courses taught by our team of expert chefs.

With over 50 cookery courses to choose from, designed to suit beginners as well as advanced home cooks we will teach you to cook with imagination, passion and enjoyment. If you want to take your cookery skills to the next level we have a cookery course for you.

During the day our vintage tea rooms are open, with home made cakes, scones and more available, all served on traditional crockery, in a beautifully decorated room, taking you back in time. Afternoon teas are available on request.
