As we say goodbye to spring and its blossoming landscapes, June arrives, bringing with it a long-awaited burst of warmth and colour. With the impending solstice, the days grow longer as the air fills with the scents of blooming flowers and freshly cut grass, signalling that summer has truly begun.

Gardeners are rewarded for their efforts with early vegetables like artichokes, fennel, and ripe, juicy tomatoes, which add a splash of colour to our plates.

The coastlines come alive in this warmer season as the ocean teems with life.

This time you can book us! Any event in and around London and the Southeast we can come to you, shuck, chat and bring oysters to the masses!

Weddings, conferences, parties and any other excuse for a shindig!!!

We set out from day one at Faber to source all of our products and ingredients from our British shores. We had a few exceptions where we just couldn't get the products we needed. Tea was one of those items, it scored high on our carbon impact assessment. Nothing says British more than a cuppa, but nothing travels further in our current list of ingredients.

So thanks to some help from friends at Hawkestone Brewery and Clarkson's farm we found British grown tea!!!!!

Now available at Faber in it's trusted spot next to the kettle is Tregothnan English tea!

One more ingredient now sourced from British shores!

Whisky has a vibe all its own, especially when you look at the British coastline. Distilleries by the sea in Scotland have been crafting their unique whiskies for ages, but guess what? This trend is spreading beyond Scotland!

Take Cornwall's Wrecking Coast Distillery, for example. They whip up a rye whisky that's all about warmth and spice, perfectly reflecting its surroundings. Over in East Anglia, The English Distillery is serving up clean and precise single malts. And let’s not forget Penderyn Distillery in Wales, where they create lighter, fruitier whiskies that really stand out.

What ties these distilleries together is their love for their local area. They embrace their unique climates and resources to make whiskies that truly capture their landscapes.

At Faber, we totally get the connection between food and place. Coastal whiskies match perfectly with local eats: think peated island whisky with oysters, English malt with fish, or spiced rye with heartier meals.

The British whisky scene is changing—it's less about strict geography and more about expressing the true essence of the surroundings. 🍃🥃 Dive into this beautiful evolution!

At Faber, we’re all about sustainability while making sure you enjoy top-notch quality and taste! 🌱✨ While we don’t serve salmon, our signature Trout Tartare with Keta Caviar and Horseradish tofu has quickly become a guest favorite!

Did you know that farmed salmon can pose environmental challenges, like pollution and diseases affecting wild fish? That's why we choose ChalkStream trout from the UK! These farms have a much smaller ecological footprint, using carefully managed systems that protect the environment and minimize the need for marine feed.

ChalkStream trout farms meet strict GLOBALG.A.P. standards, ensuring high animal welfare and sustainability. So, when you choose our trout, you're not just enjoying amazing flavors; you're supporting responsible farming too!

Get ready to savor trout for a long time to come on our menu! 🐟💚

Let’s talk about foraging along the UK coast! 🌊✨ There’s a ton of wisdom out there from folks who forage and care about our beautiful environment.

First thing's first—safety is super important! Shorelines can be a bit tricky, so make sure you're staying safe while exploring.

Wondering where to forage? The rules about land access can get a bit confusing. While some spots are off-limits, we’ve got over 7000 miles of coastline filled with hidden treasures waiting for you! Just check local websites for the scoop.

When you’re out there foraging, keep in mind: plants, fungi, fruits, and flowers are just for personal use (no selling!). But go ahead and collect seaweed! You can also fish and gather shellfish in tidal waters, but steer clear of private fisheries.

Conservation is key! Don’t pick endangered species; know what’s protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act and avoid those special scientific sites (SSSIs).

At Faber, we’re all about seasonal eating! Following seasonal practices helps keep wildlife safe and allows food to grow back.

Laws change often, so stay in the loop! Each area has its own Sea Fisheries Committees—Google it if you’re unsure. Better safe than sorry!

Hope this helps you find some cool stuff along the shorelines! 🌟 Stay tuned to see what’ll be on Faber’s menu throughout the year!

Our shellfish platters are back and they’re designed to showcase the best of what’s coming in from the coast, focusing on British and seasonal delights.

🦀 Brown crab—sweet and delicate, perfect for picking or adding to your favorite dishes.
🦞 Lobster—rich and succulent, it’s the ideal time to savor this treat.
🍤 Langoustines—soft, sweet, and often caught fresh from day boats.

🦪 Razor clams—when available, a true taste of the shore.
🥬 Scallops—hand-dived and clean, with a naturally sweet flavor.

The arrival of May marks the welcome transition from spring to summer. With the promise of longer days, brighter skies, and warmer weather, we embrace the beauty of the final burst of spring and look forward to the abundance of fresh, locally-grown produce and the wealth of seafood this season offers.

Onshore, the fields are bursting with fresh asparagus, the sweetness of early peas, and succulent ripe strawberries. The warmer seas offer a treasure trove of shellfish, such as delicate scallops, and fresh fish, like rich, oily mackerel and buttery monkfish.

It's marathon day this weekend, so anyone who's running today can have oysters on us for £1 a pop and all in the name of health and recovery! Just show us your runners medal.

There are foods that feel indulgent, and then there are foods that quietly do something more.
Oysters have always sat somewhere between the two. And if you haven't noticed at Faber we love them... bordering on obsessed!

We wax lyrical about there sustainable creditionals, we preach how great they taste and how versatile they are. But they are also one of the most nutrient-dense foods you can eat!

Naturally rich in zinc, they support immune function and recovery.
High in vitamin B12, they play a role in energy levels and cognitive health.
They provide iron for oxygen flow and magnesium for muscle function.
Omega-3 fatty acids support heart health, while selenium works as a powerful antioxidant.

And they do all of this in a way that feels light, clean, and uncomplicated.
At Faber, we’ve always believed oysters are more than a starter. They’re something to come for — to sit with, to share, or not to share at all.
Simple, considered, and quietly doing you some good.

Congratulations team.. you deserve this so much!

Sustainable Award at The Casual Dining Awards last night!

Really humbled to even be in the room with world class operators like little alone get an award!

Testament to a team that doesn’t cut corners and innovates every single day!

Thanks to everyone, keep us busy and making it possible to open our doors each day. It’s not easy out there at the moment and this means so much to the team!

Earth Day is a great time to think about how we do things, not just celebrate. At Faber, sustainability isn’t about big gestures; it’s all about the little choices we make every day.

We skip tuna and salmon because they can harm the environment and go for British options like ChalkStream trout instead. Plus, all our seafood is 100% British and comes from day boats that use lower-impact fishing methods.

In our kitchens, we’re all about 100% renewable energy and managing waste smartly through anaerobic digestion—turning waste into energy instead of dumping it in a landfill. We also love oysters since they help restore marine ecosystems!

About a third of our wine comes from the UK, cutting down on transport emissions while supporting local producers.

These choices show what responsible hospitality looks like. Earth Day is a reminder to keep evaluating our sustainability efforts—it's not just a marketing moment; it’s our everyday commitment to do better! 🌍✨

In summer, mackerel flashes silver and blue in our coastal waters, bringing joy to communities for generations. While the fish remains abundant, the Northeast Atlantic mackerel stock faces management issues among nations like the UK, Norway, and Iceland, leading to overfishing.

Waitrose has removed Northeast Atlantic mackerel from sale to raise awareness about these management concerns, urging better agreements that align catches with scientific advice. Retailers' worries focus on fishing scale and management rather than the fish's sustainability.

Large pelagic trawlers catch significant quantities of mackerel, closely tied to international quota disputes. In contrast, smaller coastal fisheries use low-impact methods like handlines, resulting in minimal bycatch and seabed impact.

At Faber, we prioritize sourcing mackerel from small day boats along the south coast, ensuring it’s fresh and sustainably caught. This fast-growing species represents local seafood that aligns with our coastal food culture.

The distinction between large-scale industrial fishing and small-scale dayboat fishing is vital. Large retailers focus on global supply chains, while restaurants can emphasize local and transparent sourcing.

We celebrate mackerel caught by handline and served seasonally—one of the great fish of our vibrant British waters. The real question is not just whether we should eat it, but how it reaches our plates. 🐟✨

Happy Easter... Here's a story about our name, John Dory and an endless supply of fish!

Faber (Zeus) being the Latin for the well-known John Dory fish has a rather distinct mark on its side. This mark is referred to in the bible, it is said to be the thumbprint of Peter the Apostle who, scriptures has it, was told by Jesus to row out into the sea of Galilee and cast his nets. After dropping a coin Peter reached in to pull a fish out that had swallowed it, to this day Peter the Apostles thumbprint remains on the John dory.

Sadly, the very name should act as a reminder to us all! The fish that is now found in abundance in UK waters was sadly over fished and stocks were obliterated in the sea of Galilee, the past may not have been aware of sustainability as we are today, but it remains a topic we should not forego lightly.

To this day Peter the apostle remains the patron saint of fisherman. An occupation to this day that carries many dangers and responsibilities.

Now there's a reason to visit!

We'd love to se you this Easter weekend at Faber, but we're guessing some of you may be off on travels, so here's a few recommendations of awesome beaches we've seen on our travels to find ingredients for our kitchen... even we needed some down time on the beach...

☀️ Whitesands, Pembrokeshire
It took our breath away the second we drive down the narrow winding lane! Big skies, rolling surf and proper Atlantic energy. It’s the kind of place where you walk for miles, then sit one the and watch the tide roll out!

☀️ Wells-next-the-Sea, Norfolk
You earn the sea here — a long stretch of sand before you reach the water. But that’s part of the charm. Huge horizons, soft light, pine trees behind you. Calm and unhurried.

☀️ Luskentyre, Isle of Harris
Almost Caribbean in colour — until the Hebridean wind reminds you where you are. Wild, beautiful and often blissfully empty. One of those beaches that stays with you.

☀️ Camusdarach, Morar
Shell-dusted sand and views across to the islands. Quiet, cinematic, and incredibly peaceful. It feels remote, even when it’s not.

☀️ Bantham, South Devon
Classic South West. Gentle surf, golden light, and long afternoons that turn into evenings without you noticing.

Get travelling!

Day well spent. Early mornings on the pass with Ollie and the team.

Our ingredients aren't easy to come by, so when they are dropped early doors to us at Faber it's on us to make sure we do justice to what we think is some of the best ocean ingredients in the whole world. Our coastlines can be so bountiful when nurtured with good stewardship, but it's on us to bring it to the plate and do it proud.

And who knew Ollie had guns!

FABER X // Friday 3rd April

Just over 20 years ago I started working with a young chef, a few years later we became business partners. We went on a long journey together before I stayed in London and Jason went to live on the coast. Jason was there as a steady, helping hand when we opened Faber. He’s been one of those friends who@always has your back!

Roll on 3 years and I’m so proud to say that has opened his own venue and I get to play a small part and call him my business partner again (although he is very much the senior partner in this project alongside , another industry legend). The Plough in Dormansland is Jason through and through, destination venue with proper English grub, but retaining what a pub should be, something at the heart of the community.

So to celebrate a long friendship rooted in hospitality and culinary delights we are taking Faber our 2 Rosette restaurant and setting up camp for one night at The Plough to serve 60 wonderful guests a five course Faber sourced menu ‘From British Shores’!

If you are in the Lingfield area or fancy a drive, feel free to join us! DM for booking.
