A Proper Farmhouse Roast
A Sunday roast at The Farmhouse starts with ingredients we genuinely care about. Plates built around quality meat, seasonal vegetables and proper cooking that takes time.
Expect Herefordshire beef, Wolterton Park lamb and Priors Hall Farm pork with proper crackling, served with crisp rosemary and garlic roast potatoes, seasonal greens, and red wine gravy made in the kitchen.
Vegetarian dishes are given the same attention, from red lentil and courgette nut roast to King Oyster & root vegetable boulangère and wild mushroom bourguignon (v). We also offer seasonal fish dishes for those looking for an alternative.
And the sides matter just as much… creamed celeriac gratin, maple roasted pumpkin, heirloom carrots and, of course, our Farmhouse cauliflower cheese. All delicious and perfect for sharing.
Generous, thoughtful food designed for slow Sundays around the table.
Provenance, Seasonality & Farm-to-Fork Cooking
Food at The Farmhouse is rooted in provenance. Our Sunday menu follows the same farm-to-fork ethos you’ll find across everything we do, built around trusted British farmers, local producers and ingredients grown on site where possible.
Meat is carefully sourced, cheeses celebrate British makers, and vegetables change with the seasons. Herbs, greens and produce from our no-dig kitchen garden increasingly find their way onto the plate, helping shape dishes throughout the year.
That connection to where food comes from is a big part of the experience. It’s not just about a roast arriving at the table, it’s about knowing the care behind it, the farmers behind it and the season it belongs to.
