Sutton community farm hosted a pop-up dinner at the Brasserie Vacherin on Tuesday as part of Urban Food Fortnight.
The three-course meal named Less than 50 Dinner served food that has been produced within 50 miles of London to showcase their commitment to locally-sourced food and to raise money for the farm.
The meal, designed by restaurant owner and head chef Malcolm John featured a selection of vegetables from Sutton community farm, meat from Forty Hall farm in Enfield, cheese that is produced in Bermondsey and honeycomb from London-based beekeepers.

Vegetarians enjoyed a twice baked soufflé, made using hard press Bermondsey cheese, alongside an accompanying salad, which comprised of the farm’s nasturtium leaves and salad burnet.
