FOOD AT THE SMILING SHEEP

One of the joys of running the smallholding is the satisfaction in growing, cooking and eating the freshest, tastiest, most ethical food imaginable. We believe in food that has travelled from “field to fork” with the very minimum of interference, preservatives or additives.

THE LINHAY

Breakfast includes our own crusty homemade bread, jam made from our own fruit, sausages and bacon from the pigs and, of course, freshly laid eggs from hens that peck around the orchard. We also serve local honey, cereals and apple juice from a nearby farm. Milk is from the highly ethical Taw River Dairy.

The supper menu changes regularly in accordance with the seasons but often includes main courses such as roast belly pork with crunchy crackling, slow cooked lamb tagine with herbed couscous or vegetarian courgette carbonara with pasta made using fresh eggs from the hens. 

SHEEP TO SHAWL DAYS

Refreshments are provided throughout the day, including fair-trade coffee, speciality tea, home-made biscuits and freshly baked cake.  A light lunch is provided, typically this might be home made pasta (from our own eggs of course), with a home-grown vegetarian or meat sauce, or a hearty soup with freshly baked bread, or, weather permitting, we might fire up the outdoor wood-burning pizza oven!
