CAFE MYRIADE
They provide us with our espresso and answers to our constant barrage of questions. We take our coffee service very seriously here and they are an amazing resource. The owner, Anthony, is one of the top baristas in the country and a great person.

[Fergus] Henderson has inspired a generation of restaurants and chefs to cook honest food; using great (seasonal) produce, well reared animals and not messing around with it too much is what food in England is all about now and St John is really what started the revolution.

BEURRERIE DU PATRIMOINE
Supplies us with excellent butter.

Dairy Farm
BIRRI & FRERES
Everything they grow is top quality and again it’s a fairly small company. I like being able to speak directly to the person responsible for growing, rearing, or making the product that I'm buying. It's great that we're able to have that with nearly all of our suppliers.

Supplies us with top quality, free-range, "almost organic" beef. They are still waiting for their organic certification.

Makes great milk and cream among other things. They run a relatively small, organic operation and you can really tell. They don't mess around with their products, so milk and cream are not brilliant white and they won't last three weeks in the fridge. But having cream that tastes of cream is a rarity these days that's definitely worth paying for.

The pigs we get from Porcherie Ardennes are bred properly over a longer period of time and have significantly more fat on them which is nearly always beneficial when it comes to cooking. They are also reared humanely which is important to us.
