Food Provenance

Fantastic food is what we’re all about at The Kingfisher and with standout suppliers of quality ingredients on our doorstep, wherever possible we’re sourcing locally. Our sausages, steaks and burgers travel under 20 miles from farm to plate with the cows practically living next door at just under 2 miles away! It doesn’t stop there… we’ve also found delightful wines from Warden Abbey Vineyard and guest ales from around the county.
