The South West’s leading lifestyle publication
We’ve published the South West’s go-to magazine revealing where to eat, shop, stay and visit for over two decades. In 2003, we launched the first local food magazine in the UK. It was called Food Magazine.
In spring 2024, this evolved into Food Lifestyle magazine. We made it chunkier, switched up the design, and went quarterly. 209 issues (and counting) later, it’s still the South West’s favourite freemium magazine for discerning and affluent folk in the region and beyond (lots of our digital readers and followers are, surprisingly, in London).
The current incarnation of the magazine is a coffee-table bookazine which reveals the most exceptional (and coolest) places to eat, drink, stay and shop in the South West each season. It covers dining experiences, interiors, gardens, spas, hotels, art, foraging, craft, clothing and quirky and interesting finds. More popular than ever, it has a dedicated tribe of subscribers, and is also distributed through high-end stockists.
The magazine is edited by Jo Rees and written, designed, published and distributed by the Salt Media team. Flick through the digital version of the summer 2026 issue here for a flavour of what the publication delivers to its readers.
Anyone who is anyone in the region has been featured in Food Lifestyle and we’ve interviewed the likes of Alice Temperley and her siblings about life in Somerset, found out where international ceramicist Sandy Brown spends her Saturdays in Devon, and showcase chefs, lifestyle stores and cool places to stay from Cornwall to the Cotswolds.
