How Orestone Manor Supports British Farming

At Orestone Manor, we believe that every great meal starts with exceptional ingredients. By working closely with British farmers and local producers, we bring the best of the South West to your plate.

As well as allowing us to deliver the highest quality cuisine to the table, this commitment also strengthens the local South Devon community and champions sustainable farming practices. Here’s how we actively support British farming and celebrate its vital role in our dining experience.

Sourcing local produce for unbeatable freshness

From farm to table

The closer the source, the fresher the food. Orestone Manor works with farms and producers from across South Devon to ensure the shortest possible journey between field and plate. This means our vegetables, fruits, and meats are not only fresher but also retain their nutritional value and vibrant taste. Whether it’s seasonal greens from Bovey Tracey or fresh fish caught off the Devon coast, every ingredient tells a story of local dedication and care.

Showcasing the best of British craftsmanship

Supporting traditions that span generations

The farmers and artisans we collaborate with have honed their crafts over decades, with many representing generations of family expertise. From the cider orchards of Stoke Gabriel to the butchers of Torquay, these partnerships celebrate the heritage and skill of British farming. Hunts Cider, for example, has been creating traditional Devon cider for over 200 years, bringing history and authenticity to every sip.

Prioritising sustainability 

Farming with the future in mind

British farming plays a crucial role in protecting the environment. The suppliers we work with are committed to sustainable practices, such as reducing water use, maintaining soil health, and avoiding harmful pesticides. By sourcing locally, we also minimise food miles, helping to lower the carbon footprint of every dish served in our restaurant.

At Orestone Manor, we extend our sustainability efforts beyond sourcing, with initiatives like using solar energy and wildlife-friendly grounds. Supporting farmers who share these values ensures that we’re all working toward a healthier planet
