In the heart of the Square Mile, Farmer J adheres to growing demand for convenient, wholesome and affordable food. Providing ‘build your own field trays’, all produce is sourced from high welfare farms, predominately in the UK, with all food prepared each morning. Customers are provided with a field tray, each containing a grain, main, two sides and a sauce. These may include charred flank steak, roasted salmon fillets, or spicy harissa chicken that’s quick and easy to make at home.
“Every day at Farmer J we vigorously rub our harissa chicken in a freakin’ tasty marinade, made with ground spice and a shed load of red chilli. Our chefs unceremoniously throw the marinated chicken into a searing hot oven and finish off on the grill. At Farmer J, our regulars go mad for harissa chicken on a bed of brown rice, served with sweet potato wedges and roasted broccoli, topped with tahini dressing. All our customers agree that this dish tastes best served straight from the grill.”
