With Foie Gras becoming more popular and hotels and resturants selling it , I thought we could use this for contact details of places selling it so that people can politely contact them.
If you know of any places selling foie gras and have the relevant contact details put them here.
I will start.

Foie Gras in Cheltenham
It has just come to light that the Bibury Court Hotel in Cirencester, Gloucestershire are serving foie gras on their restaurant menu.
The hotel management were being interviewed on a radio show recently where they were overheard by a sympathiser bragging about selling diseased liver.
Please contact the hotel and politely let them know of your disgust at the hotel supporting extreme animal cruelty.
A sample letter is provided at the foot of this mail.
Thank you and good luck.

Dear Sir/ Madam,
I understand that your restaurant serves 'foie gras' which is a cruel delicacy where geese and ducks are force fed by metal tube up to three pounds of grain a day until their livers swell up to ten times their normal size becoming diseased then sold under the name foie gras.
A high percentage of these birds that live in factory farm conditions abroad cannot even stand up properly after being force fed these huge amounts of grain.
The practice of rearing geese and ducks for foie gras production is outlawed in the UK because of the extreme cruelty involved.
Please look into the cruelty involved in producing foie gras using the link below and remove it from your menu.

Until you stop serving foie gras I will boycott your restaurant and encourage everyone I know to do the same.
I look forward to your reply on this issue.
Yours sincerly,
