The Kitchen
WE CARE ABOUT FOOD
As we make everything on the premises from the breakfast chocolate bread through to the after dinner chocolates and petites fours we know all our ingredients. If you have any dietary concerns please let us know. We always cater well for vegetarians and our menu is wholesome using local and organic products wherever possible.
CHEESE
The few Norfolk Cheeses-traditionally Norfolk has not been a cheese making county-are supplemented with cheeses from the British Isles supplied by The Neals Yard Dairy in Covent Garden. We are totally committed to the British cheese making industry.

Food is traveling further than ever before, often hundreds of miles from where it was produced to where it is consumed. Family farms, local abattoirs, processing plants, local food distribution systems and small shops are all disappearing, unable to compete in today's global market.
Over-centralization of food has meant the loss of local distinctiveness, traditional varieties, craft production, and a sense of belonging to the community.
Access to fresh and seasonal food is difficult in many communities, leading to poor diets with serious implications for long-term health. In addition, money leaks out from local economies as it is siphoned off by distant food businesses.
Supporting local producers and suppliers who create with integrity is a fundamental of Stratton’s environmental policy.
If you would like any information on our suppliers, please ask any member of staff who will be able to provide you with a buyer’s directory. If you are staying, we are happy to store your produce in line with our environmental health responsibilities.
