Proof Social Bakehouse
Located in the Sandford Lane Industrial Estate and housed in one of the fab, high-ceilinged warehouses, Proof is light, airy and spacious with pops of colour from a beautiful bright mural by super talented artist Lisa Curtis. The bakery has recently expanded into a mezzanine level and we can’t wait to see more as it evolves. It’s open plan so you can see right into the kitchen where all the baking magic happens. Proof Social is a collaboration between Missing Bean Coffee and Tap Social and you can expect to find all your favourite things here: excellent coffee, sourdough bread, pastries, cakes, tray bakes and more. The cinnamon buns are my favourite: a sticky mess of gooeyness and joy. They even let you choose from the tray which one you want – anyone not immediately saying ‘the biggest’ needs to be chased by wolves straight out of town. Team with a walk around Sandford Lock (only a few mins walk away), perfect for a sunny stroll. If you are familiar with parent company Tap Social’s ethos, you will know that social justice is at the heart of what they do and Proof Bakehouse is an important strand of that, offering […] Read more

Valley Farm Pizza and FarmBox Burger
We were let into this secret by friends in the know…now we are sharing it with you! At a gorgeous little campsite in Farmoor – Valley Farm Camping – are two amazing places selling pizzas and burgers: FarmBox Burger and Valley Farm Pizza. Our friends had been previously and were really hyping it up and, as a pizza aficionado, I felt it my duty to check it out. Woah! Even driving up, it has some sort of mini festival vibe! We went on the bank holiday weekend and there were loads of campers in the fields and the low setting sun made it all seem rather idyllic! There are tables to sit at on the lawn and children can brush the donkeys or meet the rescue sheep or super friendly Bengal cat whilst you wait for your food. The pizzas? Seriously good: wood-fired, fresh and very tasty. I could have eaten three all to myself. We didn’t have any food from the burger place but we did get ourselves some ridiculous milkshakes. You have to pre-order your food via the website – this is very important if you don’t want a car full of hangry people – as this place […] Read more
