№ 05The Shop

Launched In Lockdown, December 2020.

Tomas Heron built Forager's Pizza & Pasta on the Village Road after a redundancy from marketing — testing the dough and the menu at home with the family, then driving to the Cotswolds to find the right flour. We make virtually everything from scratch.
