Holcombe, Somerset, hotel and restaurant photography

I just spent a great couple of days photographing at the newly refurbished Holcombe Inn in Somerset. The emphasis is firmly on organic food, grown as locally as possible, served in a fabulous understated coaching inn, with interiors designed by the excellent Annabelle Holland Design (look at the colour palette!). Laid back, top quality and set in the rolling hills of North Somerset, it’s near to Bath and Bristol, and it’s even mentioned in the Domesday book! It reopens soon, and we took the opportunity to photograph it before the visitors flock in… We photographed the rooms, the food and the vegetable gardens.

Food Photography at Gara Rock Hotel in Devon

Food Photography at Gara Rock Hotel, Devon

I spent a lovely day at one of the most fabulously located hotels in the UK... Gara Rock is an institution in the South Hams of Devon, and its recent change of ownership, and upgrade that came with that, has ensured a state-of-the-art kitchen, supplying fresh and simple food for residents and visitors alike. The chef in charge is Lewis Glanville, and it was great to spend time with him and his team, photographing them as they cooked up some great dishes; clean and crisp, colourful, and above all else, tasty. Worth a visit, even if it's the most southerly hotel in Devon, and quite a drive to get here!

Situated on the beautiful Douro river and not too far from lovely Porto, is the luxurious and rather grand looking 'Casa Da Calada' Hotel. Its famous for its wonderful food, and Tiago is a renowned Michelin starred chef. The food tastes amazing but it also looks wonderful... an easy job for a food photographer!
