  We age farmhouse cheddar on the farm in a cave under the barn, which sounds grander than it is.

  I sell carefully chosen vintage glass and china nothing bought to resell from a wholesaler, ever.

  Frond Plants

  Roam & Co

  Streetfood

  We do one thing — a proper toasted sandwich with everything prepped from scratch the morning before. We serve until it runs out, which on a good Sunday is by two.

  Roam Kitchen

  Streetfood

  We run a small Ethiopian kitchen and every box, fork and cup we hand over is compostable.

  The Hemp Room

  Homewares

  I sew cushions from vintage fabric using curtains and blankets from house clearances. Compostable at the end of its life, which will be a long way off.

  I weave willow baskets from willow I grow and cut on a Thames-side bed.
