Homegrown produce

Many of the specials at Ballihoo restaurant contain fresh, seasonal produce, grown at the onsite allotment in a no-dig, chemical-free environment that supports our work on biodiversity.

Our hard-working grounds team use the allotment to recycle as many of our natural materials as possible, which in turn helps our food to flourish. Fallen leaves and manure from our grazing goats is used to fertilise the soil and veg peelings from Ballihoo are brought back down to the allotment’s compost heap, to create a closed nutrient loop.

Keep an eye on the menu for globe artichokes, borlotti beans, squash, pumpkins, tromboncino courgettes and lots more throughout the year.
