We offer two menus at The Farmers Arms; Our Pub Menu, offered at lunch and dinner and our Five-Course Birch Farm Dinner Tasting Menu.
Our Pub Menu features classics with a twist and some of our signature dishes. It features our own Birch Farm reared pork, lamb, duck and eggs, along with the bounty of vegetables and fruit throughout the seasons.
The Birch Farm Menu, available during dinner service, is our seasonal five-course tasting menu; starting with snacks and finishing with sweet treats. This menu features all the beautiful produce from our own farm, as well as other local farmers, growers, fishers and foragers. This menu is a showcase for the chefs, as well as the farmers. A journey for those who love food, and celebrating where it comes from.
