OUR BRAND VALUES*

We are entirely independent… and proud of it. We only select, prepare and serve you the absolute best food and drink we can source; mainly from local food heroes; some from our own Kitchen garden. Everything is freshly prepared here, in our kitchens, by our amazing chef and his team; from tasty breads and silky-smooth pasta to indulgent ice creams and even our own chocolates. The Kitchen is all about food, fun, family and friends; joining together around the table; a foodie heaven full of unctuous, comforting delights and a place for memories to be made. We look forward to welcoming you here.

OUR COMMITMENTS*

Sustainability

Acutely aware of the delicate balance of the earth, the team are committed to be mindful of the environmental impact of our restaurant. We recycle where we can, source biodegradable disposables, our ingredients are ethically sourced and seasonal where ever possible. We take immense pride in sourcing from the very best farms and the waters around Great Britain.

Environment

We are mindful of the environment – working with our suppliers to source locally sourced food where possible. We are based in an area of outstanding natural beauty and do all we can to promote the local area, in particular the National Trust property, Farnborough Hall, in the same village where we are located.

Local Communities

We employ a team of chefs and front of house staff from the local community and support local fundraising initiatives through our bar and restaurant. We source all of our produce from local suppliers and distributors which enables us to support the local economy.

Packaging & Waste

We recycle packaging and also return packaging to our suppliers for them to re-use or recycle. We use paper straws in the bar and recycle all of our glass bottles and cardboard. We are very aware of the impact waste has on the environment and do all we can to minimise waste and actively encourage our suppliers to do the same.

Inspiring & Educating

At The Kitchen we take enormous pride in inspiring and educating our customers about what is in season and do all we can to produce dishes using local and seasonal produce. We have our own Kitchen garden so our customers can experience first hand what is in season and our smaller guests love picking our veg which is then served with their meal! We have a hugely experienced and skilled workforce and we take great pride in training junior members of our team. In particular, training junior chefs to be able to prepare everything from scratch that features on our menu.

Energy Reduction

The team at The Kitchen does all it can to reduce our energy consumption, in particular by buying new equipment that has lower energy usage, as a priority.

Nutritional Values

The team at The Kitchen spends a great deal of time planning menus that offer healthy alternatives and cater for the needs of all dietary requirements on our menus, in fact our vegan dishes are becoming increasingly popular. We ensure that all our dishes our well balanced and not overloaded! Quality over quantity is definitely our mantra in all we do.

Animal Welfare

Not ApplicableAnimal welfare is the single most important factor for us when sourcing meat and dairy products. We use free range eggs at all times. We have always used the best possible Royal Warrant Holding Butcher that has an impeccable record in monitoring the animal husbandry standards from all of it’s suppliers. We have also visited the farms from where they source their meat.
