ABOUT US
Passionate about seasonal, locally available, fresh and artisanal food, The Hungry Guest puts the market back into a market town. We work with carefully selected growers and producers who align with our ethics and values and who help us in our delivery of excellence.
We are an artisan food brand producing, sourcing and selling great food to customers who are mindful of where their food comes from. Our like-minded suppliers and farmers employ sustainable practices and are sensitive to their environmental footprint. In our food shop, bakery, fish shop and butchery, we celebrate small scale producers and the goodness of fresh food.

We are passionate about food and once you have tried our range, we know you’ll feel the same way.
SOUTH DOWNS - OUR BAKERY AND KITCHEN
Nestled in the foothills of the South Downs, our bakery and kitchen are the heart of our growing brand. Our sourdough starters, as old as we are, begin the process, hand cut and moulded and naturally leavened in our artisan proving baskets, then baked to perfection. All under the watchful gaze of our master baker, whose recipes and expertise have shaped our offering and our award-winning bread.
We use complementary, natural ingredients – nuts, seeds, rye, kibbled and crushed wheat and malt – to further enhance our loaves and give diversity to our offering. For the sweettoothed, we offer moreish cakes, flapjacks, cookies and pains au chocolat. Everything is delivered in dedicated in-house vans to your premises, fresh and ready to grow your food business, however big or small. We bring quality, innovation and consistency in our bread, that you and your customers will love.

MEREWORTH
At The Hungry Guest we fervently believe in providing the best, most delicious produce for our loyal customers, and have striven over the last decade to carefully oversee the local environments from which we source our meat, baked goods, fish, fresh fruit, ingredients and vegetables. We are therefore very proud to support the Mereworth Market Garden.
The market garden is a reflection of all that inspires us and reflects our commitment to eating seasonally and sustainably as a conscious decision to support nature’s rhythm and to choose flavour instead of artificially enhanced produce. Our brilliant team, led by Paul and James, research rare varieties which are not universally available, that burst with flavour, and are guaranteed to delight! With traceability, provenance, sustainability and flavour as our bywords, we are thrilled to share our fruit and vegetables from the market garden with you.
