Beef and lamb From our farm to your fork

We are farmers that bought our local country pub. Our food is hearty country pub fare that you would normally see in the farmhouse kitchen. Nothing fancy, but we really care about the quality of the produce we serve. We have farmed on Morris Farm in Stow Maries, next door to the Prince Of Wales, since the 60s. We have a suckler herd of Aberdeen Angus Cattle and lambs. When you visit the pub you will drive past these in the fields on the way out from South Woodham Ferrers.

We take great pride in the care and attention we put into raising our livestock, as do many British farmers. If you get talking to our dad, Rob at the bar he will no doubt tell you all about it! All the lamb and beef we serve at the Prince of Wales comes from our farm. The other meat and produce that we serve is very carefully selected to meet the standards we expect on our own farm.

Handpicked local suppliers and producers

The chicken on the menu comes from slow grown meadow chickens in Sutton Hoo. Our sausages are made from pigs raised by Claire at Hummerstones Farm in Billericay in Essex. The delicious pickled gherkins are made by a local company called Perfectly Pickled. The pork on the menu comes from Whitegates farm in nearby Rettendon. Our specials board is full of delicious food from producers with a similar ethos to these.
