A Community Of Village Pubs : The Black Boy in Oving and The Dinton Hermit in Ford

11/09/2026

At Moogies, we take pride in choosing suppliers who share our “Being Mindful” sustainability values, which is why we serve a selection of Navas drinks - Original Tonic, Light Tonic, Rosemary & Thyme Garden Tonic and Ginger Ale.

Navas have a big focus on sustainability, working closely with local growers and sourcing botanicals in a way that protects landscapes and supports responsible farming. Their drinks are crafted with care, using natural ingredients and low‑impact processes that reduce waste and keep quality at the forefront. They believe in doing things the right way, from championing local producers to ensuring every bottle reflects their commitment to the environment.

Whether you’re pairing one with a gin, enjoying a long drink in the garden or choosing a lighter option with dinner, you’ll taste the difference that comes from a company driven by purpose as much as flavour.

Moogies : Pubs have kindly made us their Nominated Charity moving forwards. To support Heart of Bucks, they have pledged a ‘dish donation’ by donating 50p for each Fish & Chips meal ordered from their restaurant menus.

They also generously fundraise for us through their monthly quiz nights at their two pubs, The Dinton Hermit in Ford and The Black Boy in Oving. This is all part of their Being Mindful pledge where they support a range of community and sustainability-driven goals, from reducing waste and recycling to supporting local charities such as ourselves.

Maria Woolverton, Head of Operations, shared the following:

“We are delighted to have Heart of Bucks as our Charity Partner of the Year. The partnership has strengthened our connection to the communities we serve and brought our team and customers together to support a cause that truly matters. It is also fantastic to work with a charity who are passionate about supporting young people and developing their appropriate skills to thrive in this exciting sector.”

Do you want to know more about the variety of ways you can support your local community?

Whether you want to become one of our key partners, donate regularly, involve your team or customers in fundraising, or link your donations to successful sales, we can support your local giving. Together, we can help the local organisations working with those most in-need across Buckinghamshire.

The Dinton Hermit offers something a little special for those looking to enjoy refined, creative food in a beautiful countryside setting.

Our Signature A La Carte menu combines fine‑dining with hearty pub food, giving guests the chance to explore dishes that are thoughtful, seasonal and full of character. Available Thursday to Saturday from 12:00, it’s the perfect choice when you want a meal that feels elevated without losing the warmth and charm of the pub.

Featured here are three standout dishes: the Mackerel & Orange Pâté, the Goat’s Cheese Croquettes, and the Pork Loin which is served with the most delicious apple and blue cheese tart and Dauphinoise potatoes.

If you’re looking for something a little different, our Signature menu is well worth discovering.

At both our venues, we try everything to be as sustainable as possible whilst providing our customers with quality. For example, we grow a range of fruits, vegetables and herbs on-site, giving our chefs access to fresh ingredients they can use across the menu wherever possible.

It’s all part of our Moogies Being Mindful commitment to sustainability, helping us
bring the freshest flavours from plant to plate.

From vibrant herbs to seasonal vegetables, the garden plays a small but meaningful role in the dishes we create, adding character, freshness and a sense of place to the food we serve.

Our Laundry Has Room For More!

When we refurbished the bedrooms at The Dinton Hermit, we made a conscious choice to convert one bedroom into our very own in-house laundry.

This lets us:
🌱 Use gentle, eco-friendly products
🌱 Cut transport miles – no vans collecting or delivering linens
🌱 Care for our bedlinen properly, extending its life
🌱 Stay true to our Being Mindful commitment to sustainability

We also switched from paper to linen napkins at both The Dinton Hermit and our sister pub, The Black Boy, to reduce paper waste.

💧 And here’s the exciting part — we have spare capacity and are keen to offer our laundry service to other local, small businesses who share our values.

One of our happy partners recently said:

“Debs and her team at the Dinton Hermit provide a great support to our business. Their friendly manner, great communication and attention to detail ensures we have beautifully pressed, clean linen delivered on time, every week.”

If you’re a local business looking for reliable, sustainable laundry support – we’d love to help. 💚 [email protected]
