Goodwood Gin
An irrepressibly bold and irresistibly elegant gin.
Organic Beef
The beautiful deep-red Sussex, our beef cattle, thrive on the chalk downland, having been farmed on the land at Goodwood for centuries. As all our beef is hung for 28 days, it produces a lovely flavour and deep colour resulting in our fillet winning two Gold Stars at the Great Taste Awards and our sirloin winning one Gold Star at the Great Taste Awards.
Our free range pigs are a mixture of two traditional breeds: Gloucester Old Spots and Saddlebacks. These hardy outdoor breeds live a happy life on the Home Farm grassland. The pigs, with their good intramuscular fat, produce high quality cuts of meat, including traditionally cured rind-on award winning bacon, gammon, sausages and ham which retains its moisture even after cooking
We produce a variety of handmade farmhouse cheeses in our very own Cheese Room, using our rich organic milk as the base. Charlton offers a creamy texture with rich, tangy flavors. Levin Down melts in the mouth with its rich creaminess. Molecomb Blue, a Great Taste Awards gold star winner, is irresistibly rich with a smoky crust. Our non-homogenised milk retains its wholesome goodness, available as whole, semi-skimmed, or skimmed, processed alongside our cream. In addition, we are one of the few producers selling raw milk; a milk that is not pasteurised and which, some believe, is a more healthy dairy option.
Brewed using home-grown malted barley from Goodwood Home Farm and organic hops, each of our Goodwood beers is authentic and full of character. These include Lucky Leap (APA), St. Simon (Lager), Grogger (Pale Ale), Flying Elephant (Lager) aand Hilda (Non-Alcoholic Beer) Each of our beers are made to perfectly pair with our organic beef, lamb and pork reared here on our Sussex grassland.
Handcrafted from a meticulously curated blend of locally grown botanicals, distilled with mineral water filtered through the very chalk Downs that surround the estate. From this untamed terrain we have created an irrepressibly bold and irresistibly elegant gin.
We are now partnered with Gusbourne wines, who planted their first vines at the Gusbourne Estate in 2004 and share our passion to deliver high quality produce.
They ensure only the best grapes are used in their winemaking, by growing and hand-picking them themselves, to create the very finest English sparkling wines.
