The Café at Montalto

The Café at [Employer hidden — sign up to reveal] is a stylish eatery which specialises in locally inspired dishes that people love – all served the Montalto way. There are areas on the estate where the gardening team grows produce for use in The Café, and we are always keen to showcase the produce of local, artisan suppliers, incorporating it into our dishes and in turn nurturing strong relations with them. Our Head Chef uses a variety of suppliers including Cavanagh Free Range Eggs, K & G McAtamney meats and Draynes Farm in the weekly menu. The reason for this is simple: supporting these producers, as well as growing our own produce, not only helps to sustain the local economy, it also ensures that we can use the freshest, highest quality, naturally grown ingredients.
