Greenmeadow Community Farm has appointed hospitality provider BaxterStorey as catering partner following a multi-million pound transformation.
The renovation includes the The Farmer’s Table restaurant, with 90 seats housed within a new oak-beam conservatory. The venue, operated by partner BaxterStorey, will offer an all-day menu championing local sourcing and sustainability, aligning with the farm’s wider farm-to-fork ethos.
Open daily to both farm visitors and the public, The Farmer’s Table will serve breakfast, lunches and signature dishes such as hand-stretched pizzas and Welsh beef smash burgers. The seasonal menu highlights local ingredients from suppliers including Cwmbran butcher Douglas Willis and nearby dairy and bakery producers. The Farm Shop will further champion Welsh food with a curated range of local produce and artisan goods.
The Farm takeaway offer will include pastries and snacks.
As part of the partnership, BaxterStorey will also manage event catering across the newly refurbished Greenmeadow location, including the Haybarn, an event space designed for weddings, parties and corporate functions.
The venue will include hog roasts, charcuterie tables, wood-fired pizzas, and bespoke seasonal menus.
Jac Griffiths, General Manager at Greenmeadow Community Farm, said:
“It was really important to us that the food and drink on offer at the farm was reflective of our values around seasonality, with well-sourced produce and a menu with something that everyone could enjoy.
“We were really impressed with the tasting menu from BaxterStorey which helped us decide which hospitality provider to use, and we know the local community and visitors to the farm are going to thoroughly enjoy the foods and snacks that The Farmer’s Table will have on offer.”
Daryl Williams, Operations Manager, BaxterStorey, said:
“We’re proud to be working alongside Greenmeadow Community Farm, which shares our love for great food and strong community connections. Our team are excited to bring their craft and creativity to the table, celebrating the best in local Welsh produce to give visitors and local community a welcoming hospitality experience.”
Torfaen Council's Executive Member for Communities, Cllr Fiona Cross, said:
“This is really exciting news, and the food and drinks menu looks fabulous. The Farmer's Table will be open to everyone, not just farm visitors, so it will become a real favourite for residents wanting to catch up for coffee and a cake with friends or a special dining experience.”
Greenmeadow Community Farm re-opens on Saturday 13 September.
