In developing our new kitchen we have formed partnerships with some great companies whose products we love. We think you will love them too...
We have also launched a range of wonderful new products many of which are exclusive to us in the UK.
You can find out more about all of these great companies by following the links below.
Mercury Appliances
Mercury Appliances produces the most beautifully designed ranges we have ever seen. The RC1090 range cooker which is in our downstairs kitchen and coming soon to our upstairs kitchen is a contemporary classic - a perfect fusion of innovative design, attention to detail, quality and performance. From the reassuringly solid clunk of the oven doors, to...
Kenwood
Kenwood have been part of our cooking lives for as long as we can remember. My first Kenwood Chef was my mum's old one - she was passing it on because my grandmother was passing on hers and was getting a new one herself. It has always been part of the cooking rituals in our family - my father has always presided over it to mash the potatoes - so the...
Eva Trio
Just like us Eva Denmark is a family company. But the fact that the company has passed through several generations has not left it set in its ways - as managing director Jan Engelbrecht says "We're not going to do the same as everybody else. We must dare to take chances - otherwise there's no fun in it." All their Eva Trio products are a triumphant...
Opinel
Opinel holds a special place in Richard's heart as he still remembers his first Opinel penknife which he got aged 5. The original folding knife was introduced in 1890 and has become part of French heritage, an icon which was chosen as one of the Victoria and Albert Museum's 100 most beautiful objects in the world in 1985. An Opinel knife is an essential...
Poggenpohl
When we built our second kitchen we wanted something sleek, clean and modern to contrast with the exposed stone walls. Poggenpohl’s +SEGMENTO® range with its wide vertical units and sleek worktops fitted the bill. The handleless fronts are easy to keep spotlessly clean, and the hydro lacquered finish is hardwearing and heat resistant. Poggenpohl...
Moulin de Foncabrette
Deep in the hills of the Haut Var region of Provence, near to the picturesque medival village of Flayosc and not so very far from our French house is the Moulin de Foncabrette. Owned and run by Mr and Mrs Rovera, both now in their 80s the couple harvest their own olives and then cold press them and other local olives to produce some of the finest olive...
Nobel
The safety of our staff and customers is ensured by the installation of a Nobel Fire Systems K-series system through the whole of the building. A sophisticated temperature trigger rather than a smoke sensor ensures that merely burning the toast will not trigger the fire suppression system. The K-Series system has been designed to meet all the aesthetic...
Valentine Warner
We love everything about cook and food writer Val Warner; his books; his TV shows; his company.
Azorie Blue Coffee
Many premium espressos don’t work quite so well when combined with milk. Consider the fact that around 95% of espresso drunk in the UK ends up in either a latte or cappuccino and this is something of a problem. Azorieblue is different. It’s a superb all-rounder with a taste profile deliberately created to produce a fruity, citrus espresso...
Rare Tea Company
There is a confusing array of teas on the market today. Most tea companies offer a huge range from the mediocre to the good. Rare Tea is not that sort of company. Owner, Henrietta Lovell has been personally sourcing all the teas since 2004. The teas are not mass-produced in large industrial gardens. These whole leaves and tips are...
Model Catering
Founded in 1993 by Sophie Grey, Model Catering was developed after a friend was so impressed with her cooking she asked Sophie to cater a party of 100 people hosted by Simon Cowell. As a former model, Sophie quickly discovered that there was a niche in the market for a catering company that offered not only exceptional food but dazzling and sophisticated...
Robin Bailey Knife Sharpening
Robin Bailey is our knife sharpener who does a session at the cookery school twice a year so you can bring in your knives to get them professionally sharpened so that they are good as new.
