Jurassic Feast is delighted to welcome Axminster's River Cottage to its community of the region's best food and drink businesses, as showcased on the Jurassic Feast app.

Fronted by celebrity chef Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall, the River Cottage team – based at Park Farm on Trinity Hill, near Axminster – has been at the very heart of the Jurassic Coast's rich food heritage for many years, championing all things organic and local.

As a result, they have significantly influenced the region's thriving food industry for more than 20 years.

Now they have joined the Jurassic Feast app, which offers subscribers special deals and offers and some of the best food and drink outlets in the region.

Gill Meller, Jurassic Feast ambassador and River Cottage food writer, said: "I am passionate about sourcing high quality, ethically and sustainably produced seasonal ingredients and supporting the businesses that produce them.

"As an ambassador for Jurassic Feast, I am delighted that River Cottage is joining this collective of businesses who share this passion."

Stewart Dodd, River Cottage CEO, added: "River Cottage has long supported the 'shop local, eat local' ethos which is also shared by the entire Jurassic Feast community.

"With shared values and a passion for what we all do, we are excited about this collaboration of like-minded local food and drink businesses."

The River Cottage Kitchen & Store at Park Farm gives people the chance to taste the amazing food River Cottage has to offer, even if they are not taking part in a course or attending an event.

The menu champions organic, local and seasonal food with a farm to fork ethos. The kitchen is open from 9am to 3pm, with breakfast served from 9am to 11.30am and lunch served from 12noon to 3pm, and the store is open from 9am to 5pm.

The casual, dog-friendly space is the perfect spot to drop by for a bite to eat and enjoy incredible views.

The Kitchen & Store is found at the top of the hill by the spacious car park off Trinity Hill. Visitors are able to purchase a wide range of products from the store, including some of the many fantastic cookbooks written by Hugh and the team, local food and drink, and homeware.

Also on offer will be the River Cottage Organic range of products which now includes kombucha, vegetable stock, cider, beer, sparkling wine, award-winning yoghurt, kefir as well as soaps and balms – made in conjunction with organic producers.

Jurassic Feast app users will receive 10% off purchases in the store when spending £30 or more dining in the River Cottage Kitchen & Store.

Giles Smallwood, Ross Travill and Sally Cuthbert, founders of Jurassic Feast, said: "Jurassic Feast is more than just an app, it highlights how food can truly bring people together.

"We are proud of our ongoing contribution towards creating a community of talented and inspirational people across a variety of food and drink businesses, whilst encouraging both locals and visitors to shop and eat locally on a more regular basis."
