Locally Sourced Produce and Suppliers

As a Farm Shop, we take pride in our locally sourced produce and goods. With sustainability at the heart of what we do, we look to reduce food miles, reduce single-use plastics and promote local suppliers such as Racecourse Farm Honey.

Racecourse Farm Honey is located 1 mile from the Zoo as the bee flies, producing honey in small batches, straight from the hive. This way of harvesting and producing honey is far more sustainable than mass production and provides a unique, high-quality product. These high-quality, sustainable products reflect our shop values. We also work closely with other Somerset-based suppliers such as Rose Farm, Wicked Chilli, Bumblees and Bradleys.

Meet our Head Chef

I’ve been working in the catering industry since I was 15, and over the years, I've been fortunate to experience a wide range of environments—from Michelin-starred pubs and restaurants to hotels and pop-ups across England. My journey has taken me through fast-paced, high-intensity kitchens, as well as providing personal dining experiences in private homes.

Before settling down, cooking was my entire focus. I moved around a lot, always seeking out like-minded people who shared my passion for food and cooking. I spent years reading cookbooks, fascinated by the "why" behind a chef's techniques and the stories that shaped each dish. My love for food also led me to meet other chefs, many of whom I bonded with over our shared love of dining out and exploring new culinary experiences, sometimes traveling abroad just to experience exceptional establishments.

Now, I’ve settled in Somerset, where I enjoy the rich local food culture and everything the area has to offer. Outside of work, I cherish time with my family—whether we're camping, walking, or attempting to grow vegetables (though the slugs seem to have other plans!).

I'm still as excited about catering as I was when I first started. Every year brings new challenges in the kitchen, motivating me to adapt, innovate, and push the boundaries of what we do. My journey has shaped not only my approach to food but my understanding of the ever-evolving nature of the culinary world.
