The husband-and-wife team behind Bristol steakhouse brand Cow & Sow will open a new farm shop, café and bar in North Somerset later this month. The Field Farmshop & Kitchen will occupy the site of the former Dew Drop Inn in Flax Bourton and will open its doors on October 22.
What The Field will offer
The Field is located opposite Kitchen Farm - another Cow & Sow business - and will sell breakfast and brunch dishes, including various full English options, house-made granola and pancakes. The eatery will also serve lunch and a "later menu", with dishes including soup of the day, a Ploughman's platter and flat-iron steaks.
All dishes will be made with locally sourced produce from the Farm, with meat from Cow & Sow's butcher partner Walter Rose & Son.
Seating and additional offerings
The new site will be able to seat 70 people inside, while external decking will provide a further 40 spaces to eat or drink. A deli counter will further provide takeaway options of freshly baked goods such as scotch eggs, sausage rolls and salads made from Farm produce, alongside takeaway coffees using beans from Clifton Coffee Roasters.
Meanwhile, the farm shop will sell a range of locally sourced artisan products and gifts, including chutney from West Country Legends; Single Variety Co jams; baked goods from local estate bakery The Newt; fresh ice cream from family-run Marshfield Farm Ice Cream; and, eventually, honey from The Field's new beehives.
Owner's reaction and opening hours
Mark Warburton, founder of Cow & Sow and The Field Farmshop & Kitchen, said: "We're so excited to be finally opening our doors. The team is hard at work, putting the finishing touches to the restaurant and farm shop. We've had so much support from locals, friends and family - we can't wait to show people what we've done with the place.
"We're very much looking forward to welcoming our first guests through the door in October, this is a real passion project for myself and my wife Amy. We want this place to be an extension of the ethos and brand we've built at Cow & Sow and we want The Field to become a pillar of the local community."
The farm shop and café will be open from 7.30am to 6pm, while the kitchen will open 7.30am to 4pm every Monday to Friday. On Thursdays, The Field will host charcuterie evenings, opening from 6pm to 9pm for sharing boards and drinks. Weekend hours will vary.
