We're an artisan Indian food business, cooking from a 400-year-old Tudor barn above Silent Pool, in the Surrey Hills. Everything is handmade in small batches, with single-estate spices sourced one farm at a time across India.
We deliver frozen meals across the UK, run a café seven days a week, teach cookery in the barn, cater weddings and celebrations, and host supper clubs most weekends.

When all you need is dinner, simply sorted
Food for Real Life
Our bundles are made for exactly that. Proper Indian food, slow-cooked with care, frozen gently, and ready when you are. Perfect for two, for families, for unexpected guests - or for those evenings when you simply don’t feel like cooking.
Four things no one else can honestly say.
-
01
A real place.
A 400-year-old Tudor barn above Silent Pool, in the Surrey Hills. You can visit. You can eat here. The food comes from a kitchen, not a warehouse.
-
02
Single-estate spices.
Pepper from one farm in Kerala. Cardamom from one valley. Turmeric from a specific part of Andhra. Spice expresses terroir the way wine does.
-
03
Six Great Taste Awards. And Nigella.
Not one. Six. Plus Channel 4, BBC, The Times, The Telegraph, and a personal endorsement from Nigella Lawson we didn't pay for.
-
04
Cooked, then frozen.
Not cooked from frozen, in a factory. Cooked in our barn, frozen the same day, delivered to you in insulated boxes. The flavour survives the journey.
