About Our Farm-to-Table Philosophy:

​

• What does "farm-to-table" mean to you? At The Hackney, farm-to-table is our commitment to sourcing the freshest, highest-quality ingredients directly from local fisherman, farms, producers, and foragers. This means our menu is deeply connected to the seasons and what's currently available at its peak flavor. We prioritize building strong relationships with our suppliers to ensure both exceptional taste and sustainable practices.

• How local are your ingredients? We strive to source as much as possible from local fisherman and local farms around Washington, NC. Chef Jamie works directly with our fisherman and farmers, and we can usually tell you the specific fisherman or farm your vegetables or proteins came from on any given day.

• Does your menu always change daily? Yes, our dinner menu is crafted daily based on the freshest ingredients available that day. This allows our chefs to be creative and highlight the best of the season. You can expect a truly unique dining experience each time you visit.

• How can I see today's menu? The most up-to-date menu is available on our website https://www.thehackneywashingtonnc.com/dinner-menu and is also presented to you upon arrival at the restaurant. Due to the daily changes, we typically don't publish the menu far in advance.

About the Menu and Ingredients:

• How do you decide what's on the menu each day? Chef Jamie works closely with our local fisherman and farmers to see what is freshest and in season. He then creates dishes that highlight the natural flavors and quality of these ingredients. Weather, availability, and the farmers' harvests all play a role in the daily menu creation.

• Can I request a specific dish in advance? Due to the spontaneous nature of our daily menu, we are generally unable to accommodate specific dish requests in advance. However, we are happy to discuss any dietary restrictions or preferences you may have upon arrival.

• Do you serve seafood? Where is it sourced from? Depending on the day's availability, we will feature fresh, locally sourced seafood from the North Carolina coast.

• What kind of wine list do you have? Our wine list has been carefully curated to complement our seasonal menu, featuring a strong line up of both Old World and New World wines.
