Common Questions
Are your eggs and dairy locally sourced?
Absolutely. We use free-range eggs and source our organic milk, butter, and cream from local partners who share our commitment to quality. You’ll find that same richness in everything from our Mill Kitchen lattes to our farmhouse breakfasts.
Do you bake your own bread and scones?
Yes, our kitchen team is busy every morning. We pride ourselves on handmade bread, freshly baked buns, and traditional scones prepared daily on-site. When you smell the oven in the morning, you know it’s ready.
What makes Broom Mill "Field to Fork"?
It means we control the journey. From our own grass-fed livestock to our on-site master butchery and our restaurant tables, we cut out the middleman to ensure the highest ethical standards and the freshest taste in County Durham.
Why is "Buy British" so important at Broom Mill?
Choosing to Buy British is about guaranteed quality. Unlike many foreign imports that can use growth hormones to speed up production, our British meat is produced under the world's strictest safety regulations. We ensure those hormones never pass down the food chain to our customers—serving only traceable, high-welfare food you can trust.
...every purchase helps keep our local community thriving. Explore our locally sourced range in the Farm Shop.
What Our Visitors Say
"Just moved up here from Surrey... if you had this shop with the food that is served down south, you could easily double the price of the magnificent food you serve. Love your food, the price you charge, the cakes and of course the staff."
