Ten of our Favourite Farm-to-Table Restaurants
"The 4,000 acre Duffin family farm in Mountsorrel plays host to a 16C farmhouse – where the eponymous John was born and now cooks – along with a shop, a café, a petting farm and a motor museum. It’s a real family affair, with his parents, brother and sister all involved. Cooking doesn’t get more farm to plate than this, with the surrounding fields supplying most of the ingredients, from herbs, vegetables and fruits to lamb, pork and beef. Butchery takes place on-site and they use every part of the animal; rare breeds are a feature and include Leicester Longwool sheep and Gloucester Old Spot and Tamworth pigs. This talented chef has a great appreciation for his ingredients and knows what it takes to get the best out of them." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
