About

You may well have seen the farm, featuring in Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's 1998 TV show 'River Cottage'. He broadcast his fresh approach to cooking on Channel 4, which helped develop more enlightened UK culinary habits, raising awareness of the environmental importance of eating sustainable meat and fish.

The Axminster farm is the 'River Cottage HQ' but you may have seen the brand elsewhere in the West Country - there are four canteens, in Axminster, Bristol, Plymouth and Winchester. Their dedicated passion for food is evident in the wedding breakfast, and picturesque farmland presents a delightful wedding venue.

Catering
