Field To Fork

Our Rare Breed Shetland Cattle have been born and raised here at Errichel alongside our Rare Breed Large Black Pork – Nurtured by Paul & Rebecca over the years to produce a fantastic, well matured meat. The animals have roamed free on the farm to enjoy the open spaces and food available to them throughout the year with Paul being able to get up close with each animal to ensure their health and upkeep is of the best standing. We do hope you enjoy knowing all of our Animals have been look after graciously with the Dignity they deserve. Thyme Bistro offers ‘Field to fork’ food in an informal and relaxed environment.
