All our pork is free range and additive free, the pigs spend most of their time outdoors but we do farrow indoors sometimes. We use traditional breeds of pig (Gloucester Old Spot, Saddleback, Large White, Berkshire) and cross them with an Oxford Sandy and Black or Gloucester Old Spot cross Large White boar. The Traditional breed gives the pork a more traditional flavour. We make all our own sausages and cure all of our own bacon.

The bacon and ham is traditionally dry cured and has a wonderful flavour. We sell cooked ham as well. We also have our own smokery and can smoke anything you like not only pork we smoke cheese, chicken, salmon and salt beef.
 
Our lamb is all free range and additive free, with the ewes coming indoors for about 5 weeks a year to lamb. They are mainly Kent and Suffolk. The rams are Texel cross Dorset Down so the end product is mainly a hardy lamb that takes slightly longer to finish than some of the more modern breeds but are very well suited to the Pevensey marshes and are of better flavour. All cuts are available and we also do a very tasty lamb and mint sausage.
 
All the beef is additive free and where possible it is of Sussex or Sussex cross and Aberdeen Angus cross. The Sussex bullock is well adapted to the Pevensey marshes and produces a lovely flavoured beef with a creamy fat. We hang our beef for a minimum of three weeks in the cold room before cutting it, four where possible. This helps the beef to mature and brings out the flavour as well as tenderising it, the flavour speaks for itself. All cuts of beef are available and we also make a tasty beef and mustard sausage. Homemade beef burgers are also available; they contain 100% minced beef with onion and seasoning, no additives and no preservatives.
 
Our chickens come from a farm 4 miles away and are additive free as well. They are of excellent quality and full of flavour. Again the flavour speaks for itself.
 
We raise our own Turkeys for Christmas and have used the Bronze for the last 4 years.

The chicks come in as day olds at the end of July and then we rear them to finish weight. These are again additive free and full of flavour. Again they are hung for fourteen days to improve flavour and tenderness.
 
We source as much of our vegetables locally as is possible. We have a grower 3 miles from us and his vegetables are of a very high standard. Vegetables are seasonal and we do our best to beat the supermarket prices and quality. We generally have a good selection to complement the meat that we produce and sell. We also sell a range of fruit and we buy this locally when it is available.
 
We also bake our own cakes in the shop and Angie makes a very tasty banoffi pie.
We have a large range of Jams and Marmalades, some homemade and some are from the taste of Sussex range. Mustards and sauces are also sold. We also have our own homemade meat pies, sausage rolls and pasties. We also offer Cream teas with clotted cream and strawberry jam with homemade scones.
 
Our cheeses are made locally and we have a fairly large range on offer. We sell fresh milk and a very tasty Organic drinking yoghurt from a neighbouring farm. Clotted cream, butter and yogurt are also available along with some sheep and goats cheeses and milk etc.
