First established as a market stall, Ann began Waterhouse Fayre in 2004. Today the business has a purpose-built kitchen in Mid Devon where they produce their small batch jams and chutneys still using traditional, home baking methods.
Based on the banks of the River Dart in South Devon, Sharpham Cheese has been crafting award-winning artisan cheeses for over 40 years. Using locally sourced milk and traditional cheesemaking methods, their range is renowned for its exceptional flavour, quality, character and pristine white colour. We visited Greg and Nicky at Sharpham back in 2025. It was great to have a tour of the dairy and see the cheese making first hand.
Between Crediton and Exeter, Quicke’s cheeses are individually hand-crafted using recipes dating back generations. The cheeses are all cloth bound in the traditional way and matured in the Quicke’s Cathedral of Cheese. We went to visit the dairy in 2025 and the huge cheese maturation room is an incredible cheese lovers dream.
Simon and Suzi have been producing the Chunk of Devon award-winning pies, pasties and sausage rolls from their unit in Ottery St Mary since 2006. We have worked with them for a long time now and seen the brand grow and grow to now include the Chunk Gluten Free range.
These hand-crafted soft cheeses are produced by Martin and the team near St Austell in Cornwall. Made using organic milk sourced exclusively from within Cornwall their range of cheeses are creamy, rich and combined with the best ingredients.
Down in Ponsanooth near Truro Lynher Dairies have been producing their Cornish Yarg cheese sinch 1984 using a 16th century recipe. Today their nettle wrapped cheeses are as popular as ever with Garlic and ‘naked’ varieties now available too.
Like us, Bays are a family run business with brothers Mark and Peter producing award-winning craft ale, lager and beers from their unit in beautiful Torbay. We went to visit them in 2025 and had a tour of the brewery which budding home brewer MD Liam really enjoyed!
These speciality cheeses are produced by Anita and Philip near Shepton Mallet in Somerset. Their high-quality milk is sourced directly from the farm and combined with skilled cheesemakers results in truly delicious cheeses.
Tony and Rose took the reins all the way back in 1983 and have expanded the brand throughout the South West. Their sausages are freshly made each day from their factory in Crediton using pork from English farms to a secret original recipe established by Mr Chinn.
Cider lover Barney started Sandford Orchards back in 2002 after not being able to find a cider that he wanted to drink. Based in Crediton the Sandford brand has truly taken off and represents Devon on the world cider stage. Their Alcohol Free Red Zero won Gold at the World Cider Awards 2025!
Using milk from local farmers on the edge of Dartmoor Richard and his team produce their cheeses using traditional methods which certainly isn’t an easy job. We found this out first hand when we went for a supplier visit and Richard certainly put us to work!
Based in Bridport Neil and Maria took over the business in 2016 but the same ethos of that proper ‘home-baked’ feel and quality of their cakes remains. We first started stocking these in 2023 and they have only grown in popularity since then.
Ben and Sally established The Ginger Cat Deli in 2015 and from their kitchen in Cullompton they produce pasties, pies, quiches and sausage rolls. We started working with them back in 2021 and now offer their range of selected pasties, sausage rolls and quiches wrapped ready for retail.
