our story.
2019 – where it began.
In 2019, chef and trained butcher Neil Rankin set out to prove that vegetables could deliver deep, satisfying flavour without relying on ultra-processed powders or additives. Experimenting with slow, natural fermentation, he discovered a way to transform vegetables into ingredients with real depth. He later partnered with restaurateurs Alan and Mark Wogan, bringing together culinary craft and operational experience to develop the idea into a scalable food brand.
today.
Today, symplicity. ingredients are used and endorsed by restaurants, caterers and Michelin-star chefs across the UK.
What began with burgers and sausages has evolved into a wider range of minces, sauces and flavour bases – all chef-crafted from vegetables, using slow, natural fermentation to build flavour.
new products.
We continue to develop new products and ingredients in response to how people cook and use our food. A low-waste approach is part of that process, including finding ways to turn surplus into other ingredients – from vegetable ’Nduja and ragus to fermented sauces and stocks.
Everything we make begins with vegetables, is fermented slowly, and finished with simple, natural ingredients.
