About

Our purpose is to create a range of food delights using uncomplicated old school cooking methods.  Small batches, great flavours, no unnecessary additives, and a celebration of all that we can source and create here in The Forest of Dean.

Rooted From the Forest Deli Kitchen

Since we opened Forest Deli in 2018, Debbie has made all the food for the shop. As events happened over the years (covid/wars/cost of living crisis/other stuff we couldn't control) and as the business evolved, we grew more and more in our kitchen garden, and created a range of seasonal jams and chutneys for the Deli. These proved so popular that other businesses wanted to stock our products.

The Cookhouse

So we're now combining our love for growing and cooking in a new business venture, Forest Delights, complete with a new purpose built commercial kitchen (aka "The Cookhouse"). Our ethos won't change, we grow seasonal ingredients where we can, and prioritise other local suppliers where we can't.
