Unlike your favourite form of renewable energy, or who speaks for the High Street, good food is one of those things that unites all Totnesians.  And good food doesn't just happen.  It takes dedicated, talented chefs conjuring magic in a well stocked kitchen.

But not every culinary conjurer has access to a spacious professional cucina.  Wouldn't it be useful to have a work hub, but for food-based businesses?  Or for that matter non-business chefs?  Imagine a large communal kitchen with multiple ovens and cook tops, capacious fridge and feezer, large work surfaces, mixers, slicers, dicers.  Would you be interested?  There's a potential entrepreneur or two kicking around the idea.  If you'd like to express your interest, please complete this survey.
