​
From elegant tasting menus and private dinners to luxury BBQs, canapé receptions and special celebrations, every menu is tailored around your occasion, using the finest seasonal ingredients and bold, thoughtful flavours.

Today, Calcot Farm Produce proudly supplies over 50 establishments across Sussex, ensuring they receive only the finest quality products.

Fish Galore
Managing Director Sean has worked in the fishing industry for 40 years now, including, spending 22 years as a deep sea fisherman skippering trawlers all over Northern Europe. During this time he has gained extensive knowledge of all seafood products, with particular understanding about their breeding and migrating patterns. Using his experience, he is able to advise upon what fish or shellfish are in season, and what the freshest and most readily available catch will be.
Local Suppliers
Shrub Provision
Harry and Sam started Shrub in 2020, during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Prior to Shrub, they had worked in high pressure professional kitchens, organic permaculture farms and food-chain logistics. In their time working within these industries, they identified the desire from fellow chefs to get as close to their food as possible. Equally, small, new and emerging organic farms were in need of a larger, more economically viable market to sell from.
Boho Gelato
Boho Gelato is an independent producer of award winning artisan Italian style ice cream & sorbet in Brighton since 2010. Seb Cole and his team use locally produced milk & cream and the best quality ingredients from around the world to create our ever changing line up from over 500 flavours.
Boho also specialise in next level vegan gelato and have been listed in the top ten ice creams in the UK! We now have two Brighton locations as well as shops in Worthing with all ice cream being made daily in house.
Jacobs Cakes
It all began in 2002. I found that I enjoyed baking, and loved the creative process involved in decorating a cake. The skills and techniques I learned over the years gave me the confidence to work as a commercial cake artist in the industry. Jacob´s Cakes was established in 2014 as a result of my continuing passion for cake and art.
Barfield's Butcher
We are committed to sourcing the finest in free range naturally reared meat from Sussex and nearby counties. We work with small farms who raise native and rare breeds.
Being meat lovers we want all the things you want in your meat. Working with small farms who place animal welfare at the heart of what we do.
