Celebrating World Class Produce

Devon Food Movement is a collaborative pop-up restaurant concept set up

by former Michelin star development chef Luke Fearon. It aims to celebrate Devon’s unique and world class produce through a series of temporary dining experiences, where talented local chefs, producers and food heroes link with restaurants, farms or unique locations throughout Devon - and sometimes a little beyond.

At all these events, small plated set menus allow diners to explore a true taste of each location at any given time within the season. The premise for most Devon Food Movement events is the ‘five-mile food’ challenge. This is where collaborators are challenged to find as many prime ingredients from within a five-mile radius of the event location to feature on the menus.

Devon Food Movement is working in partnership with Ashridge Court near North Tawton to bring its first big collaboration event to fruition on September 8th. It will feature many local artisans and some of the South West’s best chefsincluding Tom Browning, from Lewtrenchard Manor and Samuel Brookfrom Paschoe house, near Crediton.

The evening will start with a canapé and drinks reception sponsored by local winery, Eastcott Vineyard. At Ashridge Great Barn guests will enjoy an eight-course journey menu that will allow them to taste some of the best, hyper-local food around.

A ticket for the evening will cost just £35 with drinks being poured from 5:45pm. Booking for this event will be essential and all bookings should be directed to 07562260052 or info@ashridge-court.co.uk
