Chef Scott discovers the Milky Way

Our Catering Team pride themselves in sourcing local Cotswold produce for the daily menus to support local farms and small businesses and to reduce ‘food miles’.

Dairy milk, butter, cream and yoghurts are produced on Mr Ingles “Hayway Farm” which is only about 2 miles away – his cows graze in the fields just below the centre! Head Chef Scott Court and Deputy Catering Manger Richard Drakeley were lucky enough to have a guided tour and learn more about the milking process and about how yoghurts are made. Scott explained, “Our delegates have enjoyed milk and dairy products from the farm for many years and it was extremely reassuring and interesting to see the milk production in action”.

Hayway Farm also sources other local products for us including sausages, meat, poultry, local asparagus and seasonal vegetables from the Vale of Evesham
