CELEBRATING SUSTAINABLE FOOD & FARMING

We are very grateful to all our project partners and supporters on the Somerset Food Trail, all of which share our desire to promote and celebrate the best of local, sustainably produced and – of course – delicious food.

KEY PARTNERS IN 2025

THE PIG – NEAR BATH

We owe a special thanks to THE PIG – near Bath, a hotel and popular restaurant which has been a great friend of the Food Trail throughout. We love their ethos – they are big on sustainability and in 2024 became a certified B Corp organisation, which means they are part of a global community of businesses and organisations that meet high standards of social and environmental impact.

And they really do live their values. We especially like their commitment to source at least 80% of the food that they serve from within a 25-mile radius of the hotel, including their own extensive kitchen gardens. As such they support a number of the producers represented on this year's Trail. We look forward to a day when 'local first' and 'sustainable only' is common policy, not just in upmarket eateries and hotels but in hospitals and schools as well.

They say:

'We’re always looking for new ways to reduce our impact on the environment, whether that’s bottling water on-site, cutting down food waste and packaging, seeking out sustainable suppliers and charity partners, getting into beekeeping or improving our composting skills. You can be sure that we are thinking about every detail, every day and making a positive difference wherever we can.'

HIDDEN SOMERSET & STABLE DESIGN

We’re excited to share that Hidden Somerset and Stable Design are teaming up with the Somerset Food Trail to tell the stories of South Somerset’s incredible producers and venues.

Rooted in a shared passion for people, place, and produce, this partnership brings together the Food Trail’s celebration of sustainable local food with Hidden Somerset’s talent for uncovering the region’s lesser-known treasures. Together, we’ll be capturing the true flavour and spirit of Somerset — not just what’s on the plate, but the hands, history and heart behind it.

With Stable Design’s thoughtful storytelling and deep local knowledge, we’ll be painting a richer, more detailed picture of the people who make this area so special. Follow along as we shine a light on the makers, landscapes, and flavours of South Somerset — and join us in celebrating the stories that nourish us all.
