One of our most popular events from the 2020 Winchester Open Days Festival was a live streamed event with Eoghan, founder of Proudfoot & Co. We were therefore delighted Eoghan met up with food historian and HistBites podcaster, Emma Cornell-Stoffer and discussed our incredible British culinary heritage.
In this wonderful podcast they explore the history of the British pantry, and take us into the fascinating and innovative world of foraging, fermenting and barrel-ageing.
Proudfoot & Co are based on St Thomas Street in Winchester, and all of their creations are non-alcoholic for a more inclusive and unique drinking experience. Find out more here at www.proudfootco.uk
