Author Bio

Ollie Hunter was a Masterchef semi-finalist in 2013. Since then he and his wife Lauren took over The Wheatsheaf pub in Chilton Foliat and have worked in collaboration with neighbouring farm Hungerford Park to become the UK's most sustainable pub for more than 2 years (Sustainable Restaurant Authority Awards), as well as best organic, local and seasonal pub (Sawadays). Soil Association accredited as fully organic, the planetary health diet is intrinsic to everything they do and not simple implementation of the latest global guidelines. Ollie writes regularly for the Sustainable Restaurant Authority in the Telegraph and the Guardian.
