An inspirational place
We are located in the picturesque Georgian market town of Ashburton on the edge of Dartmoor National Park, an area of outstanding natural beauty. The county of Devon is one of Europe's finest food regions and you will be spoilt for choice when it comes to food producers, farmer's markets, restaurants and some great pubs.
Taste the Difference
Local, Sustainable, Ethically Produced Ingredients.
Located on the edge of Dartmoor National Park in the heart of Devon, Ashburton is surrounded by some of the best artisan producers in Europe.
With the Moor on one side, and the sea on the other, we can source our Fish, Meat, Poultry, Dairy and Game and our seasonal fruit and veg from within a 25 mile radius of the Academy.
