OUR AIM IS TO BE AS SELF SUFFICIENT AS POSSIBLE, BY USING THE CURRENT RESOURCES WE HAVE READILY AVAILABLE ON OUR FARM IN NORTHUMBERLAND.

IN 2019, WE BEGAN GROWING VEGETABLES IN OUR GREENHOUSE, TO HELP REDUCE OUR CARBON MILEAGE. THIS YEAR WE HAVE PLANTED 20 VARIETIES OF TOMATOES, 10 CUCUMBER VARIETIES, 3 PEPPER VARIETIES AND SO ON.

WE ALSO DECIDED TO INVEST IN BREEDING OUR OWN CHICKENS FROM HATCHING EGGS. THESE CHICKS WILL BE USED TO PROVIDE FREE-RANGE ORGANIC EGGS FOR OUR DISHES AND TO SELL DIRECT TO THE PUBLIC.

2020 PLANS? WE PLAN TO EXPAND OUR SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAM AND UTILISE THE READY AVAILABLE FARM LAND TO GROW AT LEAST 40% OF OUR PRODUCE.

SOURCE RESPONSIBLY

WE PRIDE OURSELVES ON PROVIDING FOOD WHICH TASTES THE BEST, IS PERFECTLY NATURAL AND WHOLLY FAIR

When not from our FARM IN NORTHUMBERLAND, we look for suppliers who share our valuES

To protect the world’s vulnerable fisheries, we have a policy to never source from the Marine Conservation Society ‘fish to avoid’ list and most comes from known day boats in the south west. Where wild stocks are too delicate to harvest, we seek the best, most sustainable fish farms to supply us.  This is the case for Atlantic salmon, which is a vulnerable wild species.

ZERO FOOD WASTE

WE DON’T WASTE A SCRAP OF FOOD.

MAKING A FEW SMALL CHANGE CAN HAVE A HUGE IMPACT ON THE AMOUNT OF WASTE WE PRODUCE. WE COMPOST, REUSE AND RECYCLE AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY AND VALUE THE TRUE COST OF REAL FOOD.

THE DUCK HOUSE PANTRY IS ALL ABOUT GOOD FOOD, SO WE NEVER WANT TO WASTE A MOUTHFUL. SEASONAL GLUTS ARE CELEBRATED IN OUR BESPOKE MENUS AND MADE INTO SPECIAL DISHES FOR YOUR EVENT. THESE ARE THE SIMPLE MEASURES TO REDUCE OUR AIR-MILES AND CARBON FOOTPRINT.
