A BREATH OF FRESH AIR
Home-cooked, artisan products made by renowned chefs? I don’t know about anyone else, but to us, that sounds like a dream – one that the newly launched Freshford FoodCo has made a reality. Started by a group of foodie friends with a shared mission for quality and sustainability, they are selling a range of sensational charcuterie, burgers and hot dogs, enormous hearty pies and sausage rolls as well as cakes, drinks and condiments – all delivered to your door whenever you choose. They’ve chosen a small-batch style of cooking that enables them to source products seasonally and support the local rural community – with the added bonus they know exactly what goes into everything they make. They are open now for online customers and a range of restaurants, cafés and shops. For more: www.freshfordfoodco.com sales@freshfordfoodco.com
Mmm... awards make pizza taste better
CAN’T BE TOPPED Bath Pizza Co is a finalist at the National Pizza Awards. Yep, being the judge of the awards does sound like the best job ever. Anyway, selection was based on level of mastery of the pizza basics – dough and what have you – and the unique toppings and touches that make each nominee special. It goes without saying Bath Pizza Co scored highly. During the initial rounds, The Green Park Station-based pizza joint were highly praised for the overall quality of their pizza, creativity, flavours and aesthetics. For the final, chef Tiv will be heading up to London to compete head-to-head with chefs from other leading pizzerias – both indie and chain. Best of luck!

KEEP CALM AND CURRY ON
Made with love
There’s a new restaurant opening at Milsom Place. Bandook Indian Kitchen, a Wapping Warf stalwart, is opening its doors in Bath this autumn. With simple but sophisticated interiors inspired by the Hindustani cafés where the British and Indian army used to eat together, Bandook will offer all-day dining, seven days a week. Signature dishes like Grandma’s curry, samosa chaat and melting peshwari lamb cutlets have got us seriously excited for our first visit. “I’ve been in the restaurant business all my life and I’ve always wanted to create a street food concept,” says director Moe Rahman. “Now that Bandook Bristol is firmly established, we’re really looking forward to expanding the concept and the next chapter in the beautiful city of Bath.” For more: www.bandookkitchen.com
