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 and honest food to share with friends.

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. All of our bookings are now made via our online reservation system, so please click on the button below to make your booking or go on the waitlist.

We are open for lunch on Friday, Saturday, Sunday & Monday and for dinner on Saturday*.

*From 1st September until Christmas, we have some altered trading hours as Annie holds a series of book-related events and we take some time to recharge our creative batteries.
