KITCHEN

KITCHEN

The open kitchen has a wood-fired grill and spit, where beef and lamb from Durslade Farm, whose acres surround Roth Bar & Grill; vegetables and herbs from the neighbouring Walled Garden are cooked.

Throughout the year, the team will cook up a storm over fire, creating theatre at events from the moment you arrive.

 

ROTH BAR

ROTH BAR

The site specific bar, showcases a range of drinks from the local area. Created by long-term friends and artists, Björn and Oddur Roth, the son and grandson of artist Dieter Roth the bar is inspired by the history of Durslade Farm. Björn and Oddur Roth used a mix of agricultural and found objects on site and areas surrounding Bruton.

Our lists showcases a variety of local drink producers, as well as our Roth Bar & Grill House Negroni and Fife Arms Whisky as well as wine from the Farm vineyards, fresh juices and homemade cordials using produce from our Walled Garden, farm and hedgerows. Visitors can also enjoy our small batch “Lop & Top” gin created using excess food – apple peel, peach stones, parsley stalks and more from our kitchen at Roth Bar & Grill.

SALT ROOM

SALT ROOM

On site meat from Durslade Farm is dry-aged in our purpose built Salt Room, which is lined with over 500 hand-cut Himalayan salt bricks, highly valued for their purity. The traditional process allows the meat to tenderise through naturally occurring enzymes, intensifying in flavour as the Himalayan salt draws moisture from the air, allowing the water in the meat to evaporate.

DURSLADE FARM

DURSLADE FARM

Durslade is a working farm and the livestock born and bred there are served at Roth Bar & Grill. Our livestock are Herefords, Aberdeen Angus and Wagyu cattle and Lleyn, Mule and Exlana sheep, all of which are reared with care, love and respect.

We have Durslade Farm Shop next door to Roth Bar & Grill which also sells the meat from our farm.

WALLED GARDEN

WALLED GARDEN

Our walled garden is located at the stunning Roundhill Grange, just five minutes from the restaurant. The two acres are looked after by our kitchen gardener, who uses age old techniques and tools to maintain the land. Hazel is coppiced from the woodlands and used as a support for heritage varieties of peas and beans. Old espalier apples and pears thrive on the sun drenched walls and the beds are filled with seasonal bounty from broad beans and peas, to beetroot and spinach. We continue to grow a wide range of culinary herbs and edible flowers, all of which exist in harmony with the surroundings.

FARMERS & GROWERS

FARMERS & GROWERS

We’re so proud to work and champion many local farmers and growers, who are experts in their field and, luckily for us, situated just a short journey away from the restaurant.
