Hide AdForbes says, “To be included amongst so many other great places to eat is testimony, not just to the hard work the team at Cafe St Honoré, but to the small-scale producers, growers and true artisans who work hard to provide us with the finest produce our soils can grow.”
Chris Grierson of Feed, adds, “We are all about taking phenomenal organic produce to a new market.
“Our food is very sociable, young, casual and often a little tongue in cheek. Indeed our tagline is ‘Exploring posh meats’ dirty side’.
“Often customers ask why our product is so downright delicious. A very simple one word answer every time: organic.”
