Barny Haughton
Bordeaux Quay: the realisation of a working life’s thinking
In 2004, two successful Bristol-based business men, Barny Haughton and John Pontin OBE, found they both had faith and belief in the same fundamental and overarching values about food. Bordeaux Quay is the fulfilment of their ideas.
'Barny Haughton is a great pioneer and one of the unsung heroes of the organic movement. He has been serving up food which is not only delicious, but local, organic and sustainable since 1988, long before these issues became fashionable.'
- Patrick Holden, Soil Association 2006
In 1988, Barny set up Quartier Vert (then Rocinantes) – a restaurant, café, bar, bakery and cookery school at 85 Whiteladies Road, Bristol, where he has been cooking, teaching, baking and eating for almost two decades.
