We are committed to using the best local foods in the Terrace Restaurant, supporting small-scale producers who use traditional methods to grow, rear or catch produce that tastes exceptional. Below are details of our key suppliers.
Kittow Bros
James and Daniel Kittow supply us with traditionally reared, free range meat from local farms. They often use rare breeds such as Tamworth and Gloucester Old Spot pigs and Belted Galloway beef, all of which are slowly grown to develop fantastic eating qualities. This is the kind of meat that you’ll never find in supermarkets – meat with a delicious old-fashioned flavour.
The Fine Cheese Company
One of the best cheese specialists in the South West, the Fine Cheese Co provides artisan cheeses from the finest dairies in the region. Using time-honoured methods, the cheeses we use are produced in small batches on local farms and allowed to mature to perfection. Our favourites include Cornish Blue, with its subtle sweetness; Sharpham Brie, an indulgently rich, soft-surfaced cheese made from unpasteurised Jersey milk and Keen’s cheddar, which combines a beautifully creamy texture with a satisfying tangy flavour.
Starfish
Our fishmonger, Richard Newman, buys daily from Looe fish market, choosing day-caught fish and shellfish from local boats. The fishermen operating these boats use safe and sustainable methods which are vital in ensuring the long-term health of both the fish stocks and the fishing industry. The benefits of our buying policy are clear - this is the freshest seasonal seafood you’ll ever taste.
Trewithen Farm
Cornwall is famous for its clotted cream and farmhouse butter, and we believe that the Clarke family at Trewithen Farm makes the best. All the fresh milk we use comes from the Clarkes’ own herd; they also supply us with their traditionally made, thick clotted cream, pure natural yogurt and deep yellow, really tasty butter.
