💥🥚💥💥KEDGEREE IS BACK!!!! 💥💥🥚💥
As delicious and colourful as ever…
This protein/fibre packed meal is perfect for breakfast/lunch or any time of day for that matter!
We freeze our rice which lowers the glycemic impact on the body. Feeds the good bacteria, slows digestive process. We add flamingo or yellow split peas and a gorrrrgeous Fenton farm egg to boost the protein content…leaving you feeling fuller for longer. Accompanied by lovely fresh crisp locally grown green salad leaves. 🥗

BUSY OLD WEEK!!! A rather severe looking me talking to the BBC 😂
It’s been an interesting couple of weeks..
visit from Sir Mel Stride MP to chat about the challenges facing the hospitality industry (VAT among other things) and the NEXT fu***ng 🤭 road closure…
Spotlight visit to the town to chat about the pending closure of the A382 slap bang in the middle of the summer hols and the height of the tourist season, the time that small rural hospitality businesses rely on. This comes hot on the heels of the 5 month closure in January of the main Moreton road to Exeter which saw footfall in the town decrease substantially!!!

DIABETES AWARENESS WEEK STARTING TODAY 8TH - 14TH JUNE

Here at Hippo, we believe that food should leave you feeling nourished, satisfied and full of energy!
That’s why we’re always looking for creative ways to reduce simple carbs and increase the variety of whole, nutrient-dense ingredients on our plates.
Why does this matter? Simple carbs can cause rapid spikes and dips in blood sugar levels, which can leave some people feeling hungry, tired or craving more food soon after eating. By focusing on vegetables (complex carbs), quality proteins, healthy fats and fibre-rich ingredients, we aim to create meals that support steadier energy and better blood sugar balance.
It’s not about restriction or cutting things out completely. It’s about making thoughtful choices that help food work with your body, not against it.
Whether you’re managing diabetes, looking to support metabolic health, or simply wanting meals that keep you feeling your best, we’re passionate about creating delicious options that nourish as well as satisfy.
Food first. Flavour always. Quality ingredients. Local suppliers.
