How do they do that?

Welcome to our kitchen at The Inn.
Head Chef Lee Watts and Sous Chef Kevin Donnelly produce super food from our small but perfectly formed kitchen. The menu comes under the description of modern British and as long as the ingredients are fresh and it tastes good then it deserves a place on our menu. We tend to have a lot of fish and game because of my background and we grow a lot of our own herbs in the garden. We also grow runner beans, courgettes, tomatoes and anything else that we can fit in our vegetable patch.

Lee and Kevin have strong support from Sorel and Andy with David, Rosie and Vicky helping out too.

The amazing thing about the team is their enthusiasm. The office is strewn with cookery books, mushroom books, fish books, leaflets from farmers and gardeners and menu ideas from all over the place. We buy a lot of our fish direct from the coast and on the way back we call on Hyden Farm (www.hydenorganics.co.uk) where we collect lambs, pigs, Guinea fowl and duck. Game usually comes straight from the farm and we have our own plucking machine and game room for processing pheasants, ducks, rabbits etc. We don't forget the flavours and textures that come from roots, shoots, leaves, cheese and pastry and we produce some interesting dishes that contain no meat or fish for those occasions when you feel like something not so heavy or if you have a preference for non meat dishes.

All in all our food is good wholesome stuff and the sort of thing that Ann and I like to eat when we go out. We hope it is what you would want too.

Recipes from our recent demonstration at the Taste of Autumn event at RHS Wisley are available here as a Microsoft Word file and here as an Adobe PDF.
