Our Local Food Heroes
Here at Lainston House, our food and
beverage heroes are dedicated to quality and are as passionate
about their produce as we are about cooking and serving it. Where
possible, we strive to source our ingredients from the local area
and steer away from foods that have excessive “food
miles”.
We focus heavily on the traceability of all
produce and we take pride in visiting the companies and building
good local partnerships.
To celebrate the relationship we have with our local food
heroes, we'd like to share their delicacies and delights with you
here...
Championing
Hampshire!
Our very own Executive Head Chef, Andy Mackenzie is passionate
about using local ingredients, not just from our own Kitchen Garden
and is on the board of Hampshire Fare.
Hampshire Fare
Hampshire Fare was established in 1991 by a small group of food
producers who wanted to actively promote the benefits of buying
local produce. Membership currently stands at 200 food, drink and
craft businesses ranging from pig farmers and wine makers to farm
shops and four star hotels... Lainston House!
