The Bistro at Stocks

The Bistro restaurant and poolside terrace at Stocks Hotel are located in the heart of Sark.

Great quality food lies at the heart of our hospitality philosophy. We pride ourselves on producing good food using the freshest local ingredients whenever and wherever possible.

We have a long-standing relationship with a team of local fishermen, farmers and other suppliers. For over 40 years our menus have featured great quality Sark Fresh produce sourced from local suppliers. We call them our Sark food heroes.

They grow or harvest only small quantities of fresh produce on a non-intensive and sustainable basis. We are grateful for their dedication, commitment and passion, and for providing us with an excellent variety of Sark Fresh quality produce depending upon the season.

‘We source fresh local produce before we import anything’. We define ‘Sark local’ as being sourced from within a 5-mile radius of the hotel. This incorporates the exclusive 3 mile territorial waters around Sark.

We are proud to have established Sark’s first ever market garden at Stocks based on the principles of Permaculture. Helen Magell, the owner, has designed and created an oasis of superbly fresh, organic, local garden produce, only 250 metres from the back door of the kitchen. Stephen Fudge, our gardener is the proud new custodian of the gardens.

Our food bursts with freshness and flavour. Creativity, skill and attention to detail are evident throughout the menus. Dishes are simply cooked using exciting combinations of fresh ingredients to emphasise honest flavours.
