Looking forward to FairFest Music Festival this weekend, it’s always a really fun one with some great music 😁🐽
This year's delicious line up for the weekend 😋 who's trying everything 🙌 🙌
It’s a lovely, sunny afternoon and we can’t wait to get going at the beer festival this evening!
Our food offering at this year’s festival will be a bit different as our long supporting BBQ team have decided to take a break for the foreseeable future.
We are all about the canapés!
Some of our favorites so far this year:
🦌 Curry-spiced venison tartare on mini poppadom
🤌 Mini Yorkshires with beef fillet and horseradish cream
🍦 Guinea fowl cornettos with golden crispy skin
We love working with you to come up with fun, creative food ideas for your event - get in touch to add a little Oink! to your occasion. 2025 book is now open!
‘Posh kebabs’ being served this Sunday as a pre-football treat! 🥙⚽️
We’re popping up outside the Drillman’s Arms to bring you some tasty slow roast lamb and spiced chicken flatbreads so you don’t have to cook. Everyone’s a winner (except Spain, hopefully)!
Serving from 6pm-8pm, and possibly halftime if there’s any left. Send us a message to pre-order yours, or just roll up on the night. Veggie options and gluten free etc also available!
Slow roasted Cotswold venison haunch for a company summer party recently - simply perfect!

Our pork boxes all come with a range of roasting joints, chops and quick cooks as well as our own homemade sausages and home cured bacon. All fresh and suitable for freezing.

-Highest welfare

We’ve been cooking up a storm tonight with these chateaubriands, along with garlic and chilli buttered monkfish, tandoori chicken and lemon & herb halloumi on the BBQ. It’s not everyday you get asked to cater for an album launch party. Thank you for having us and for the cheeky copy of the album @vincefreemanofficial, we had a great time.

Pigs tend to get ignored when talking about sustainable farming and regenerative agriculture, and there’s no doubt that intensive pig rearing systems are not environmentally sound. However, left to their own devices in an outdoor system pigs have real ecological benefits. They clear saplings and undercover from woods allowing new growth, they munch their way through invasive species like rhodendron and those that other animals can’t eat like bracken, when kept outdoors they also produce an incredible, natural fertiliser which reduces the need for chemical interventions. Our middle whites naturally have a lower propensity to rootling (because of their silly snub noses) so contribute less to soil erosion too. Our biggest bunch are currently working their way through around 4 acres of heavy scrub and poplars in an old quarry which will ultimately improve the field for wildlife and other livestock. #pigs #outdoorpigs #adayinthelife #feedingtime #pigsofinstagram #freerange #sustainable #sustainableagriculture #regenerativeagriculture #wildlifefriendlyfarming #pigfarming #regenerativefarming #environmentallyfriendly #cotswoldfarming #backbritish #eatlocal #supportlocal
