Welcome Trottingden Regent 15th 🐮

Steve takes us out on the morning drive around the farm.

We’re checking on a group of pedigree Sussex cows that have calved over the last few weeks - healthy calves on the ground and the cows looking very pleased with themselves in the sunshine.

They’ll be introduced to the bull next week, which means next year’s calves should arrive in April.

The pasture is looking beautifully dry and the skylarks are out in force, which makes everything feel rather idyllic.

Of course, ask any farmer and they’ll still tell you the same thing: we could really do with some rain.

Just 20 minutes old and already finding their feet - a little unsteady at first, but it doesn’t take long.
Out here on the South Downs, just over the hill from the Sussex Oaks, this is where it all begins. Dry, south-facing fields, a bit of spring sunshine, and instinct doing what it’s always done.
Around 500 lambs on the ground so far. A few need a helping hand, but most are up and away before long.
A small glimpse into lambing season - simple, honest, and part of the story behind every plate.

This Sunday at The Sussex Ox: kids eat roast free. One child’s roast on us with every full-paying adult roast - simple as that. A proper Sunday roast for the whole table.

Attempting to reignite a collective love for the humble steamed pudding over here!

Happy New Year, folks.
