field&flower at the V festival

We are truly delighted that we have just been announced as an event partner at the 2010 V Festival VIP Virgin Media Louder Lounge! We will be serving up the evening menu in a 'pop-up' field&flower restaurant at what's often cited as the 'Rolls-Royce' of festival hospitality.

The lovely Alison Gram of Virgin Media said about us: ‘We are delighted to have field&flower as an event partner at the 2010 Virgin Media Louder Lounge. The Louder Lounge at this year’s V Festival promises an incredible VIP experience and the food provided by field&flower will complement this perfectly.’

We must say that the Virgin Media Louder Lounge is the pinnacle of what has been an immense first year for field&flower which has seen us showcase at Taste of London, Borough Market, and the Real Food Festival. To have also worked alongside Bob Dove, one of the best butchers in the UK has really inspired us in our first year of business. So thank you Bob!

We've decided that our menu at the Louder Lounge will include 7 hour slow cooked spit-roasted Gloucestershire Old-Spot pork, Marinated butterfly Somerset lamb steaks and 4 week hung steak baguettes.

Bring on August 21st!

Tabs sees the funny side of rib-eye steak.

A lesson in the beauty of rib-eye steak!

We downed tools on the farm in June and headed to Regent's Park to sell our beef at the Taste of London restaurant event. We showcased our beef alongside the very best restaurants in the country, from the Rhodes Twenty Four to Le Gavroche.

We had a great time listening to Heston Blumenthal talk about the best way to BBQ steak, and we even spotted Matt Dawson taking a look at our steak.

We'll be back at Taste of Christmas 3rd - 5th December, see you there!

James&James

Mollie the collie

Mollie is the most valuable member of the field&flower team! She is 7 years old and has been trained by James to be a very reliable cow dog. She works long hours and doesn't often get the chance to rest on the straw bales.

This is Mollies favourite field on the farm, she often manages to find sticks and logs over in the woodland, which she'll sometimes carry around all day!

Her favourite job is counting cattle at the end of the day before going home for the dinner.... these were the first ever beef sausages we made at field&flower and she definitely only gets one of these for dinner when she has had a tough week!
