Cumbria on a plate.....
We are incredibly lucky here in Cumbria to have some of the most exquisite products.
Check out some of our fantastic suppliers....
Local fresh fish from C&G Neve in Fleetwood. They have their own fleet of fishing boats and deliver pretty much daily. We also use Cartmel Valley Smokehouse for great smoked fish.
Savin Hill is a great local farm and butchers specialising in slow growing tradional native breed pork, beef and lamb. Their animal welfare standards are exceptional. Their Cumberland sausages are just fantastic.
We also use Cumbrian Fellbred for our amazing steaks and Herdwick lamb. Again, an excellent catering butcher sourcing only from the Cumbrian Fells.
Appleby Creamery is a specialist cheese maker offering handmade hard cheeses from both cows and goats milk. (Website not currently available). We also use a lovely soft goats cheese from Thornby Moor dairy along with a great Cumberland smoked cheddar.
Hawkshead Relish Company supply us with great jams, chutneys and relishes although we do produce many of our own jams, marmelades and chutneys. However, these products are fantastic.
We recently decided to switch our guest toiletries to a more environmentally and kinder product. We were using the White Company which is a great product but we're thrilled that we now work in partnership with the Bath House in Sedbergh. The prodcuts are made in Cumbria using natural and organic ingredients. It's absolutlely wonderful and we're thrilled with the feedback so far from our guests.
Our regular 'staples' come from our grocery supplier W McLure based in Windermere. A great local company providing us with local fruit and vegetables along with milk, cream yoghurt and a range of other regular items. We also use Howbarrow Farm for many other organic vegetables and fruit in season.
Lakeland Vintners supply us with a range of excellent wines and local Willow Water.
Our daily bread is supplied by Grange Bakery, a lovely local bakery supplying fresh bread and bakery. We do try to make our own but in honesty, Jen's regular bread for toasting does rather fall short!!!!
