Dorset has a wealth of fabulous food, from our rolling farm land we produce amazing meat and game, incredible fish and sea food from the beautiful Jurassic Coast and have producers of fine cheeses. Dorset can produce all that you need. With Head Chef Sebastian Paulinyi we have selected the best food that our county can offer.

Both Beer and Wine from Dorset will be on sale over the weekend

Some of the villagers have requested a corner of the field to keep chickens and we thought it would be a great idea. The scheme will be starting shortly so watch this space for news of when the eggs will be on the menu! The lambs in the same field are also going to be appearing on the menu very shortly, we’re currently putting together our Mothering Sunday menu and we hope to feature our home grown ‘Tarrant Monkton’ leg of lamb studded with garlic & rosemary!

Tarrant Rawston, Dorset Beef

Whilst we’re on the subject of Sunday lunch, we would like to let you know the beef we are using this month are from our own herd at Tarrant Rawston. It will be featuring on the menu in a few guises namely our famous crispy beef & chilli mayo starter and of course as roast beef with a Yorkshire pudding.

Rest assured, all the local produce coming from the field isn’t affecting the peace and tranquility enjoyed by our guest chalets which do back on to the field.

Take a look at our: Stables Restaurant A La Carte Menu and our Traditional Fayre Light Bites Menu and see what takes your fancy!
