Charles Ashbridge
A third generation beef farmer from Yorkshire, Charles has been helping us choose and raise the best beef since the year we opened. As well as supplying exceptional native breed cattle from his own herd, he’s been instrumental in raising our very own Flat Iron herd at his farm in Thirsk, through which we have learnt so much about how to breed and raise the best cattle possible.
Philip Warren
Being both graziers and butchers makes Warrens unique in the industry. Since 1800, they have been farming and finishing their own livestock, before cutting and aging the meat in their butcher’s shop in the market town of Launceston in Cornwall. They work with other small farmers who manage land from the margins of Bodmin moor and Dartmoor to the North Cornish coast and throughout the Tamar Valley that lie in between to supply exceptional quality beef.
Crosscliff Dexters
Pam Cockerill raises a small herd of pedigree Dexter cattle on the edge of the North York Moors. Flat Iron gets the first pick – and we usually take it all. Pam’s passionate about seasonal rearing, so only supplies us from early summer through to autumn, so that she can finish her cattle on the best quality grass.
AUROX MEAT
Father and son duo Mark and James Leatham rear White Park cattle: a rare native breed. Their story began at Lyons Hill in Dorset, a regenerative livestock farm in Dorset, where their family raises slow-maturing, rare British breeds that live long, stress-free lives. Now, alongside their herd, they have made it their mission to source meat of the same high quality that they produce.
Natoora
Natoora work directly with growers to create a radical new approach to fruit and vegetable supply. Their network of local chains and close connections means more seasonal produce and a more sustainable approach to farming. They supply us with the star ingredients of some of our most popular dishes, including one of our blackboard specials, Vesuvian Tomatoes.
Estate Dairy
On the Cholmondeley Estate in Cheshire, husband and wife team, Shaun and Rebecca Young combine traditional dairy farming methods with innovative sustainability. Their milk, cream, cultured butter and yoghurt is exceptional, and it’s their milk we use in our Tahitian vanilla soft serve ice cream.
Ice Cream Union
Based in the heart of London, Alex and his team pride themselves on producing incredible, true-to-flavour, innovative ice cream. At our Covent Garden and Westfield restaurants, we serve their fantastic salted caramel ice cream.
Original Beans
Original Beans venture into remote rainforests to source the world’s rarest and fairest cacao beans, with the aim of transforming the cultures of chocolate, food and luxury – all while making delicious bean-to-bar chocolate. It’s their Cru Virunga chocolate shavings we use on the top of our famous soft serve.
