Our commitment to locally-sourced food
We are more than just a restaurant. We are champions of local, quality meats, sourced from herds that we raise ourselves in the counties of Gloucestershire and Worcestershire. Our very name comes from a breed of cattle we farm…. The British Longhorn (as opposed to the Texan Longhorn, which was brought to the Americas by the Spanish conquistadors) – a traditional native British breed, which originated in the north of England and is famed for the quality of its meat.
These slow reared cattle, noted for their long curvy horns, good fat content (seen from the fantastic marbling through their meat) and good sized bones and structure, make for stunning food dishes. We also rear Herefords, Angus, and other native breeds equally prized for their incredible meat.
Not only do we raise our own herds, we also source locally-grown vegetables and work closely with other suppliers from across the Three Counties and Cotswolds areas. Many of these also have products at our farm shop, Teddington’s, located just a few hundred yards from our front door, as well as being perfect accompaniments to our steaks.
