Eco Pizza Anyone?

24/3/2013

Our neighbouring village, Wedmore, has been making some serious moves in improved dining recently. It started with a big refurbishment of The Swan which is a lovely upmarket pub and restaurant with great food. Another pub, the George Inn was a beautiful building but very run down - but that has now got new owners and a lovely ambience. And now, next to the George we have a new Italian restaurant: Brown Paper Pizza. 
The name suggests a basic pizza takeaway  But this is much more. It is the next venture of Arthur Potts-Dawson the chef and restaurateur from London who made himself famous with his "The People's Cooperative" venture in London and filmed for Channel 4. 
Before that, and after a career with the Roux brothers, head chef at the River Cafe, executive chef at Jamie Oliver's Fifteen restaurant and working with Hugh Fernley-Whittingstall, he set up and ran the highly regarded and very sustainably run Water House and Acorn House restaurants. He has now returned to Somerset and started this new venture and rumour has it it will start to spawn more branches soon.
Anyway - the emphasis on great fresh ingredients, and a very sustainable operation, are all still there. Although everything is very simple, the ambience is rustic and lovely and the food is great - eat there or grab a pizza to take home and enjoy in the cottage in front of the log burner.
