At risk of being over-earnest, we know that we have a role to play in our community. Here are some of our thoughts.
  • We remain a locals’ pub at heart. Beer prices must be reasonable and drinkers welcome at the bar. 

  • Our food must not be priced for the tourist influx. We are open all year and want our neighbours to feel able to drop in for a quick bite to eat.

  • We support local artists and musicians. The walls are hung with paintings by local artists such as Penny Rumble and Adrienne Peverall, each of which often feature in our Artist of the Month showing in the Snug.

  • We have always encouraged local suppliers to bring their produce to our kitchen door (see below for Fat Hen foraged produce), and we now have a long list of active small producers.

  • We take very seriously our responsibility for minimising our impact on the wider environment and demand the same of our suppliers.

  • We employ local people and invest in training them, giving them specialist qualifications for use throughout their life.



   
 

Food Suppliers


We're a member of the Sustainable Restaurant Association now known as the Food Made Good campaign.  Among other commitments we make as part of our membership is to source our ingredients responsibly.

Since we opened in March 2006, we have developed relationships with as many local food producers as we can.  We have enjoyed learning and growing with them.

Giving commercial and promotional support to our drinks producers is as important to us as long as their product is brilliant.

And we are indeed blessed to have so many of that kind of quality here in the South West.
