Cottage HQ, found on the Devon and Dorset border, is home to everything they do and is the base for their Cookery and Chefs' School, unique dining experiences and memorable events.

There are three Canteens, their award-winning restaurants and delis based in the South West where they combine their philosophy with the finest producers in Axminster, Plymouth and - most recently - Bristol.

Then there is the online community, crammed with amazing people who have created the most knowledgeable centre for cooks, gardeners, smallholders and campaigners on the web, and they're proud of that.
