We s
erve food that’s vegetarian using local, organic and fairly traded ingredients as much as we can. Our chefs use fresh fruit and veg from East Anglian farmers, the same produce which is also for sale at the Saturday market stall and in the box scheme on Wednesdays. We buy most of our other ingredients from Suma Wholefoods Cooperative.
We’re not out to make a profit but to promote good quality sustainably grown and tasty food to everyone. We can cater for allergies and special diets so let us know if you have particular requirements.
Our menu is constantly changing with the seasons so your feedback and ideas are welcome – let us know what you think of what’s on offer! We also offer catering for meetings and events in the Hornbeam or elsewhere.
We are mostly run by volunteers and we are always keen to welcome new people – let us know if you’re interested!
