Our Ingredients
The Finest Grass-Fed Meat from the South West
We take pride in sourcing our meat from trusted South West farms, where animals are grass-fed, naturally reared and raised with care. Devon and the surrounding counties are home to some of the best traditional and regenerative farms in the country, producing high-welfare beef, lamb and pork with exceptional depth of flavour. By working closely with local farmers, we ensure that every cut served at Smugglers is rich, tender and full of natural goodness.


Seafood Straight from the source
Located just moments from our doorstep, Brixham Fish Market is one of the UK’s most important fishing hubs, supplying fresh seafood to top chefs and restaurants across the country. Every morning, the market comes to life as local day boats land their catch, bringing in everything from Brixham crab and hand-dived scallops to turbot, hake and lemon sole. Our seafood is sourced directly from these waters, ensuring the freshest flavours make it to your plate.
