Who We Work With

Mandy, from the Little Flower Shop delivers gorgegous plants, fresh and dried flowers to us every few days!

Inspired by traditional Italian recipes and the food they love to eat, these authentic gourmet sauces are made with freshly harvested premium produce grown at Glinwell’s Smallford nursery.

Carefully nurtured from seed to jar, these delicious tomatoes and peppers are vine ripened and bursting with sweetness and intense flavour. Combined with a variety of other simple ingredients, these speciality sauces are 100% natural with no additives or preservatives. They are delicious as dips, served with toasted bread and crostini, and incorporated into tapas or antipasti starters. They are also fantastic stirred through pasta or served with meat and fish to enhance the flavour of a main course.

Cannatella & Colletti sauces are available to buy at the Smallford Farm Shop and are used in the kitchen to produce meals for the café.

The Smallford Farm Shop is situated on the site of Glinwell’s Smallford nursery that was purchased in 1977 and continues to thrive. This second generation family business ((Sam and Joe pictured below) grows many different and specialised varieties of tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers, and more recently aubergines and chillies.

The produce is hand-picked, selected and refreshed everyday – less than 100m away. Your salad has never been fresher!

Nutcessity exists to make delicious organic nut butters that contain no peanuts or gluten; no palm oil or added sugar. They taste great and make you feel great.

We are proud stockists of charcuterie from Cobble Lane. Made from British reared, high welfare meats and cured in London. If you like Charcuterie meats you won’t find better than Cobble Lane.

"We grow cereals for grain and straw some of which is used for the hens. We have some beautiful permanent pasture in a steep sided valley, which has not been sprayed in living memory and is lightly grazed by cattle to encourage wild flowers.

Fenton Farm Eggs are laid by hens in traditional free range flocks where they have access throughout the day to green pasture where they roam freely and are fed specially formulated feed to enhance yolk colour.

Fenton Farm Eggs are laid by different breeds of hens including Fenton Blues which are bred from Cream Legbars and Araucanas and lay beautiful green/blue eggs, White Leghorns, a more flighty bird that originates from the Leghorn region of Italy and lays pure white eggs and a Rhode Island Red Cross which lay traditional brown eggs.

The excellent and natural conditions in which the hens are kept in results in exceptional quality eggs with strong shells, bright yolks and superior flavour."
