Signature dishes and Sunday roast
The plates people come back for
Some dishes become part of the reason people return. Our rotisserie chicken (which we also use for Sunday Roast) is one of them. It is cooked slowly, served properly, and has earned its place on the menu through consistency rather than hype.
Sunday roast is the weekly centrepiece. It is the meal families plan around and regulars come back for again and again. Cooked with care and served in a setting that suits it, it turns a simple visit into a proper part of the week. If you are coming for Sunday roast, booking ahead is always a good idea.
Our menu
Food worth coming for, served all day
The menu at Maddings is built around food we are proud to cook and happy to serve all day. It brings together brunch plates, proper lunch dishes, seasonal specials, and the flavours people come back for.
You can take a look before you visit, get a feel for what is on, and plan your stop at the farm. No surprises, no overthinking. Just good food, done properly, whenever you decide to come.
Our specials board is also available everyday, but don’t wait for too long. Once the dish is gone, its gone!
Food sourcing and provenance
Local produce, chosen with care
Where possible, we source from nearby farms and trusted local suppliers. It keeps the food fresh, seasonal, and consistent, and it means we know where our ingredients come from.
We keep this part simple. Ingredients are chosen because they are good, reliable, and right for the dishes we serve. When something is in season, it shows on the plate. When a supplier does good work, we stick with them. It is a straightforward approach, but it makes a real difference to how the food tastes.
