about du fermier

 

Welcome to du Fermier, a wonderful French farmhouse-style kitchen created by chef Annie Smithers.

Located in the heart of Trentham, one of the gems of the cool country, du Fermier takes its inspiration from classic French farmhouse cooking. Each weekend Annie lovingly creates a menu that features things that are ready in the garden and some of the finest meats and/or poultry from the surrounding region. It is comfortable honest food for sharing with friends.

We are open for lunch Friday, Saturday, Sunday & Monday. We offer a single sitting and a leisurely four-course set menu. As we are a very small restaurant we book out very quickly, bookings open on the first of the month for the month two months in advance, i.e. August bookings open on June 1st. The largest group booking we can accommodate is a table of 8 and we are unable to split larger groups onto separate tables. We have now moved to an online reservation system so please click on the button below to make your booking or go on the waitlist.

Annie is delighted to announce the publication of her new book, ‘Recipe for a Kinder Life’, which is now available to purchase on our website or in-store. Please subscribe to our mailing list, if you haven’t already which will inform you of special book-related events, wine dinners and masterclasses.

We are located at,
42 High Street, Trentham

 
 

We can't wait to see you.

we are no longer able to offer gift vouchers.
