The Riverford Field Kitchen

Riverford's farm in Devon comes with a restaurant attached, which is rarer than it sounds and rather more convincing than most farm-to-table claims. The Field Kitchen sits among the fields and glasshouses of the organic growing operation that made the name, outside Buckfastleigh, and the kitchen's supply line is essentially the view from the window. The company's own line is that eating here is something to remember. On the evidence of the accolades, they are not overselling it.

It is an award-winning organic restaurant, and the wider business behind it grows and delivers organic fruit and veg boxes, recipe boxes, meat, dairy and store cupboard goods across the country. If you know Riverford from a weekly box on the doorstep, this is where the whole thing starts. Check the opening hours and directions on their site before you set off, since a working farm is not somewhere you want to arrive at on a guess.
