On Monday 4th December, Farmer, Butcher, Chef celebrated its first anniversary with friend and fellow farm-to-table champion Tom Kerridge.
More than 80 guests enjoyed a sumptuous three-course meal featuring the organic beef, pork and lamb reared on the Goodwood Estate.
For the Farmer, Butcher, Chef team it was an inspirational evening. David Whiteside, an apprentice chef who joined Goodwood in July this year, was urged to join Tom at the pass to help plate up the main dish of Braised Breast of Goodwood Lamb with Keema pie and smoked aubergine.
David said: “I was a little taken aback when he asked me to come to the front of the kitchen; I had never done anything like that before. Tom was very patient. It was amazing to work alongside such a high-profile chef.”
The chefs at Goodwood are lucky to have this incredible produce literally on their doorstep. It’s lovely to see the team at Farmer, Butcher, Chef embracing such a great food story.
Tom Kerridge
Tom’s menu was a hit with customers, who were able to meet and chat to the TV chef throughout the evening. He served Pig’s Head Fritters as a starter with a spiced date sauce and for pudding he created a rich Sticky Toffee Pudding with Goodwood Beef Suet.

The evening also raised over £500 for the charity Hospitality Action via sales of signed copies of Kerridge’s cookery book Tom’s Table. Books are still available to buy from Farmer, Butcher Chef.
One of the most humble and inspirational Michelin-starred chefs in the UK today, Tom shares Goodwood’s passion for provenance. He loved the story of our sustainable food journey, the fact that all of the meat served across the Estate is born, bred and butchered at Goodwood and our commitment to the best in animal welfare.
We hope that all those who attended the event had a truly fantastic, inspirational evening.
