Back in the noughties, both Penny and Neil ran thriving ‘one man’ business from home. Penny, catering to large and small groups from Weddings, Balls and Parties to Private Dinners, supplying home made goodies to local Delis’ and all the while nurturing the world renowned City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, the CBSO. three days a week during their rehersals. Neil, designed and painted murals and faux finishes from Private Commissions to Architectural features in Hotels, Restaurants, Schools and Public Buildings, while running work shops and classes so always on hand for the heavy stuff and front of house duties when required at Penny’s events.
We approached the (then quite daunting) Teme Valley Market, at the Talbot Inn, Knightwick. A renowned food pub with a huge reputation for championing local, quality food, appearing regularly in the papers and Radio4, one the first 6 ever farmers’ markets to set up in the UK. Mrs Clift talked us through the Farmers’ market rules and regulations kindly inviting us to join them if we met the strict criteria.
Thinking back now there is a lot to be said for naivety, we were told about a food festival held in Ludlow at the beginning of September, only about an hour from home, so we gave them a call to see if we could come along… well, after the lovely lady on the telephone stopped laughing she was able to explain that there was a year long waiting list for this prestigious event and she would happily send an application form for us to go onto the waiting list.
The ensuing weeks found us tweaking and creating recipes, inviting friends, neighbours, family, delivery people and the postman to taste and comment as well as of course panicking like hell not knowing what we were letting ourselves in for.
The Pudge family couldn’t have been more supportive as we found our feet, behind us all the way since we moved out of our home kitchen in2005 to our first ‘unit’ the old cookhouse (53sqm) behind their rural shopping village.
Time rolled on and in 2008 we took on a much much bigger shed (350sqm) nicknamed the EGGshed by our neighbours, and the name stuck.
