Our suppliers
We use the best quality ingredients that we are able to source, making ethical choices, we only use organic free range eggs in our recipes(some from our own free range hens) We only use fish caught using sustainable methods.
Most of our suppliers are small scale local family businesses
We have daily deliveries from our local village butcher, baker, greengrocer and fishmonger.
Our mineral water is filtered through the South downs and is drawn at source just a few miles away in Southbourne .
The delicious apple juice we serve is from a local family business who pick their apples from their own orchard and press them into juice on their farm (a lot of apple juice producers buy in apples from abroad)
/p>We use locally soursed fruit and vegetables from our deli which ensures every dish is fresh for our customers x
celebrity opening
Things have changed since February 2004 when Alan Titchmarsh kindly spent the day with us and officially opened our 70 seat restaurant, we now have more seating inside and have added another 30 on our covered verandah overlooking the gardens, our menu has evolved, our customer base has grown and many visit so regularly they have become our friends!

"We never manage to "drive by"... always a lovely place to stop and enjoy. Superb coffee, fantastic cakes - and on a cold day tuck yourself by the fire. Such helpful willing staff. The nursery, the ideas, the products - outstanding range. Quite possibly the best place to be at any time. Ignore the others.. Russells is a trip out and always a pleasure (even for us from Portsmouth). "
