About Our Food

At The Brushmakers Arms, we take pride in the quality of our ingredients and the care we take with each dish. By sourcing locally and organically, we can ensure that the food we serve is fresh, healthy and full of flavour. Our commitment to sustainable dining means that we also reduce our carbon footprint and support the local economy. Whether you choose to dine with us for breakfast, lunch or dinner, you can be sure that every dish is cooked to perfection. We believe that good food should be enjoyed without compromise, and we invite you to come and experience the difference for yourself.

 

Our head chef Reece has more than 20 years’ experience working in top restaurants in London, including Michelin starred establishments. He has worked with Marco Pierre-White and in well-known restaurants including the Wolseley, Anchor & Hope and the Gypsy Kitchen, Petersfield.

 

We source our produce from local farms and food producers. As far as possible, the food that we serve has travelled no more than 10 miles to get here and is produced organically. Every meal is cooked fresh to order. All our meat is free from growth promoters, antibiotics and hormones.
