Approach to Food

Our approach to food is simple: we produce what we can ourselves. Everything else we get from the very best local suppliers. We have a real commitment to reducing food miles and complete confidence in our food provenance.

Our very own farm, St Catherine’s, is only 4 miles from The Angel and is home to our flock of pedigree Suffolk and Dorset sheep, and our little family of British Lop Pigs, one of the country’s rarest native breeds. Between them, they provide all of the free-range lamb and pork that we need throughout the year.

It doesn’t stop there. Our brood of mixed free-range hens lay eggs each day for us, as well as our little ‘covey’ of quails whose eggs often feature in our daily specials. We also rear our turkeys for Christmas.

We grow seasonal fruit and vegetables including asparagus, carrots, beets, beans, pears, plums, blackberries and so much more. In addition, the Crowther family, in their market garden in Hampton, grow fresh produce exclusively for The Angel.

Our beef comes from pedigree Hereford cattle, handpicked by us for their size and quality from a Ledbury farm. Fresh fish has its ‘plaice’ firmly in our hearts. Have a look at our daily changing ‘Catch of the Day’ and other fish dishes. All of our fish come from 100% sustainable stocks. Lawrence’s Bakery is well known to all Pershorians, and each day they drop off our bread, freshly baked that morning.
