Local, seasonal food is on the menu as National Trust chefs bring our new food policy to the table.
National Trust cooks love to use locally sourced produce. Now, with the introduction of our new food policy, that process of using quality, local, seasonal and sustainable food is to be formalised; and the use of traditional recipes, cooked with contemporary flair, really celebrated.
The food policy wants to see quality produce, animal welfare and traceability in the spotlight.
From now on, food for National Trust kitchens, wherever possible, is to be sourced from the land immediately around: fruit, herbs and vegetables from the kitchen gardens; meat from quality herds, provided by tenant farmers. Local artisans - the bakers, the cheesemakers - will be key suppliers.
Our cooks and catering teams will be looking first to their property for produce, and then to their county, their region and from around the UK. This is the National Trust showing its commitment to the best of British and the renowned culinary traditions of its regions.
So, why not include a tasty meal with a visit to a National Trust property. And start your mouth watering with our recipe suggestions from a selection of restaurants around the National Trust.
