The Three Daggers

Comprising a dining pub with rooms, farm shop, microbrewery and cottages, The Three Daggers offers a food-focused retreat in a bucolic countryside setting.

The dining pub centres on hyper-local cooking, with exec chef Toby Sharpe shaping the menus around the ripe and slow-grown produce from the pub’s own farm.

The kitchen crew crafts these fresh ingredients into elevated dishes like cured prosciutto with charred peach, soused peach puree, croutons, leaves, buttermilk and pickled mustard seeds.

Toby and team ensure the menu doesn’t stray into pub predictability. Other flavour-packed creations include dayboat fish with spiced red lentil dhal, mint chutney, bhaji onions, and greens.

Those who can’t resist the lure of a pub burger find satiation in stacked compilations like korean fried chicken slathered in American-style cheese and a hot honey glaze, served with kimchi slaw and spiced fries.

In summer, Toby ignites the wood-fired oven to cook up bubbling pizzas piled with seasonal, home-grown toppings.

All of the field-to-fork dishes are best paired with a small-batch beer from the microbrewery.

Trencherman’s tip

Holidaying in one of the charming rustic cottages? First things first: visit The Three Daggers’ farm shop with an empty XL tote. It’s imperative to stuff it with quality produce from the farm, plus local artisan goodies, for impeccable snacking throughout your stay.
