The Food Lifestyle edit

Each month we reveal our new favourite discoveries – from must-buy artisan products to events and openings.

The July edit

country hotel
Rejoice! The Beckford Group has now opened its stunning 'small village hotel and restaurant' in the Nadder Valley, Wiltshire. Psst ... there's another Beckford opening on the horizon too.
artwork
Yes art is subjective, but more than one of us got wonderfully lost staring into the fascinating collages by this acclaimed artist based in Penryn.
veggies
Do veggies right. Get a subscription for a bountiful weekly box. It's full of ultra-fresh, seasonal and organic produce direct from this little farm. Egg and wildflower upgrades optional.
cap
We heart this Cornish wardrobe essentials store, especially its strong accessories game. Exhibit one: their cotton Dad Cap in bright white, which can be worn with literally everything.
accommodation
These bougie cabins can be found just outside the Cotswolds' famous Broadway. They're set within their own hedged plots, have all the specs plus there's a sauna cabin next door. It's time to put everything down and relax.
cheese
Ditch the camembert. Gert Lush is a bloomy white-rind organic round from Somerset and it's ridiculously moreish.
bowl
Avoid cereal-bowl wars these summer holidays with these gorgeous, practical and keepsake-worthy monogram bowls, made by a revered Wiltshire potter.
dog lead
Seeking cool dog-owner status? Kit your canine out with one of these beautiful leads, crafted with care in Devon using Dartmoor wool.
Pick your own stunning ethical flowers at this B-Corp regenerative Cornish farm's open day on July 18. The farm donates all profits to UK conservation projects.

Nearly weds, take note! This Axminster catering company specialises in seasonal, sustainable feasts. Its picture-perfect Instagram speaks for itself.

Zaleika Anna Jewellery
If two-tone, minimal-chic jewellery is your vibe, check out the stunning creations by this Cornwall maker.
Gurt Lush Food Co granola
The Valentine's-edition granola from this Bristol brand has got our pulses racing. It's a combo of macadamia, white chocolate and strawberry. Swoon.
Hall's Honey
A lip-smacking blend of Spring Soft Set and Autumn Heather honey. Slather the Devonshire nectar on buttered toast – or scoff a spoonful straight from the jar.
Food Lifestyle work aprons
Our one-size, 100% heavy cotton work apron is perfect for cooking, gardening and crafting. Did we mention it's also only £15? Run, don't walk.
