Owned and run by Will Devlin, 2020’s 'Chef To Watch' by The Good Food Guide, The Curlew and The Small Holding team grows most of their own produce, home-reared Berkshire Pigs, and forages from the forest nearby for ingredients.

“Growing our own produce brings an understanding and honesty back to the kitchen, and vital freshness. Making the most of our harvests when the ingredients are at their prime - whilst also preserving and conserving them to use throughout the year, keeps us concentrated on the natural cycle of the land and helps us to create full flavoured and imaginative dishes.”
