The Farmer's Dog is the first Hawkstone filling station. But it’s not just a pub, it’s also a restaurant. And in the garden, there’s a farm shop, a butcher, an off licence, a bar, and an outpost to grab a fantastic meaty snack.
Christmas turkeys
Pre-order your Local British Bronze turkey for collection from The Farmer’s Dog. Free range, dry aged for at least 7 days and hand plucked the traditional way. They also pair perfectly with Hawkstone.
Make a Booking
Bookings are available at The Farmer’s Dog pub for weekday dinner and Sunday carvery. Lunch and drinks are walk-in only, we’re not taking bookings for these at the moment.
No space left in the Pub? Food from The Farmer’s Puppy (food van) is served from 9:30am until 3pm.
Food & Drink
Our menu is packed with locally sourced ingredients from British farms. It’ll change based on what’s in season, but it’ll always be absolutely f***ing delicious. Take a look and see what takes your fancy.

About
I have tried my absolute hardest to make sure that every single thing you consume in The Farmer’s Dog was grown or reared by British farmers. And I have failed.
Yes, the pork, the beef, the lamb and the venison are all British. And so is pretty much everything else. The milk, the butter, the eggs, the vegetables and the fruit. We even cook in British oils.
But there have been some problems like, for instance, the simple G&T.
You can’t have a pub that doesn’t offer a gin and tonic. But there is quinine in tonic water, and you can’t grow that in Britain. Sure, I could have served gin and water instead, but I didn’t think you’d enjoy it very much. Especially as, instead of a slice of lemon, you’d have been given a slice of turnip, or some potato peelings.
You can, however, run a pub that doesn’t serve avocado or Coca-Cola, so we don’t. Instead, we offer you British fizzy drinks made with British grown fruit. And British grown tea. And before you ask, yes, the wine is British too.
As is the Hawkstone, obviously.
So, that’s it really. We’re delighted to be doing all we possibly can to support British farming and we’re delighted that you’re here to help us.
Thank you.
