Here at Beak HQ we love to hear of new eateries opening, and when it involves someone who rears his own meat and supports other local businesses we love it even more. With our interest piqued, we simply had to know more about the man, and his, vision, behind Terroir Bistro, which opened its doors in Derbys Friar Gate (in the Cathedral Quarter) on Saturday 3rd December 2016.
Throughout his successful Graphic Design career, Terroir owner Tim Sidaway always had a passion for food, becoming involved in local food networks down in Bedfordshire where he lived previously.
As well as his own meat from his small flock of sheep and herd of Shetland Cattle, Tim also uses Ashovers Oaks Lane Farm and Packington Poultry on his menu. Other Derbyshire businesses to feature on the food side include The Loaf at Crich and Melbourne’s very own Brock and Morten (both of whose products we’ve liked and reviewed).
Such is his commitment to championing local businesses that Tim drives over to Buxton to collect his animal’s meat from the Abattoir there. Whilst he acknowledges that this isn’t the easiest or most cost effective route to follow, the extra effort is worth it to keep suppliers and businesses thriving in his opinion.
Terroir has a simple ethos: it wants to deliver well cooked, straightforward dishes that have originated locally in a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere. To partner the food side of the Bistro, Terroir has a wine bar within it, stocked with independently produced Wines and a variety of Derbyshire Ales, Lagers and Ciders. We haven’t been here ourselves yet, but it sounds as if every taste will be catered for. I wonder if Amber Valley Wines and Derventio Brewery are represented in the wine bar?
Reservations can be made by calling 07802 478179, and given the intimate size of the building I would definitely reserve a table to avoid disappointment.
Customers can enjoy a 20% discount off their first meal by adding their details to Terroirs mailing list simply by emailing YES PLEASE to hello@terroirbistro.co.uk
