As March comes to an end, the arrival of April marks the true onset of spring, bringing with it a colourful array of fruits and vegetables.
With the days becoming longer and the weather turning warmer, we welcome the arrival of a new season. With it comes a bounty of fresh seafood and locally grown produce that graces our tables with their vibrant colours and mouth-watering flavours.
At this time of the year, the soil is now coming to life with the first Jersey Royal new potatoes, along with verdant watercress and spinach. The sea blesses us with rich, decadent oysters, crab and lobster, along with fish like sea bass, plaice and cod straight from clearer, calmer waters.
Here at Faber, we are dedicated to the sustainability and ethical sourcing of our seafood, collaborating with suppliers who are committed to these principles.
In this new season, we are focusing on what’s fresh and flourishing, aligning our menu with what the spring tide brings. Join us to savour the best of this vibrant season here at Faber.
