Dorset’s Chef James uses Seasonal Ingredients.

January 5, 2025

Cooking is often an adventure through the senses as I create for your plate, and ultimately, for your palette.

Dorset Food and Drink supports local producers. Dorset is one of the South West’s best natural larders, from local seafood, locally grown meat, cheeses such as Dorset Blue Vinney, The Bees Knees honey, fruit and vegetables.

Sustainable seasonal food has higher nutritional quality, boosting immunity as nature intended. Aiming to avoid pesticides, preservatives or waxes and seeking out organically grown foods. It also has a a positively reduced impact on our carbon footprint.

Choosing Organic Seasonal Ingredients

There are some amazing berry farms in the Isle of Purbeck where you can pick straight off the vine. Allowing you to get them as fresh as possible and freeze on the same day. Buying seasonal ingredients fresh from the farm can give you more varieties and save you money. Farmers selling their produce in Dorset has the additional benefits of lower carbon footprint making them more sustainable.

Natural Honey From Local Bees

With 8 hives onsite the benefits of beekeeping are many. Not only is it a wonderful, calming experience that is good for the soul, caring for the bees in a sustainable way ensures we can use organic honey. Additionally, we are able to include wonderful honey, that enriches certain dishes.
