Our story

Real, feelgood food

When we say that we serve feelgood food, we really do, because we’re part of the charity My Life.

My Life aims to make life better for people who need support to live a good life, including children, young people and adults with disabilities, people with ill health or age-related problems, and people who generally feel lonely or isolated within their communities.

Not only is any income we generate reinvested into the work of My Life, but many of the fresh ingredients that end up on your plate are grown by the charity’s members on our 84-acre countryside site, or locally sourced within a 20-mile radius.

Activities like growing and horticulture help increase confidence, develop relationships and contribute to members’ overall wellbeing.

Members of the charity also develop real world catering and hospitality skills with us. Our team contribute to My Life’s courses, offering work experience and apprenticeship opportunities, increasing members’ life and work skills. Read member Liam’s inspiring story.

So, next time you fancy a deliciously crisp bacon butty, a warm sticky toffee pudding with custard, or a real dairy ice cream cone, you’ll know you really are experiencing feelgood food.

Come down, we’d love to meet you.

Lyndsey Heaton, Head Chef
