The Food Lifestyle edit

From new artisan products to events and openings, find out everything we love this month.

See the full edit
vintage ceramics
*Deep sigh*. This Devon studio, gallery and shop is run by a couple with a good eye for unique finds and vintage treasures.
notebook
Calling all stationery magpies! These gorgeous Seasons of Gratitude passport-size notebooks are a stylish solution for printing-paper offcuts.
candle
We stopped in our tracks when entering a shop that was burning La Luna's stunning Evening candle. We snapped up two on the spot and recommend you do the same.
cheese
Kudos to Somerset's White Lake for scooping the Super Gold Award at the World Cheese Awards with this beauty, a creamy-yet-tangy pyramid of unpasteurised sheep's milk cheese.
spa
Mid-March sees the long-awaited opening of a spa at this charming Bath hotel. We've been promised a haven of wellbeing and tranquility – no pressure Team Francis.
pottery
Get down to Falmouth, there's a new and exciting potter in town. Louis Domville-Musters' creations are snapped up at a lightning pace, so get on that mailing list or even better, visit his studio IRL.
charcuterie
This new small-batch regenerative charcuterie brand produces the tastiest cuts from heritage-breed pigs that were reared organically. Sign up to its mailing list for deets of its next pop-up.
choclate
Organic, vegan, refined-sugar free and handcrafted in Bristol, warm up the palate for Easter with these beautiful choc treats.
nolo beer
Craft attitude with punchy artwork and big flavours – this Bath brewery proves alc-free beer can still be juicy, hazy and delish.
