Fennel and Twine is a family business founded by husband and wife Ben and Sarah in 2020, in the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic. Keen to provide Bristolians with a restaurant experience in lockdown, we started by delivering chef-prepared meal kits and homemade goods. Today, Fennel and Twine works on events ranging from intimate dinner parties to large scale weddings.
Fennel and Twine reflects our passion for creating innovative menus and preparing delicious food for the enjoyment of others, and we look forward to sharing our love of food with you.

Sustainability & Provenance
Minimising our environmental impact is something that matters greatly to us. As a small business, we source our ingredients from local suppliers in the South West and use eco-friendly packaging where possible. We also believe in creating seasonal menus, that reflect the high quality of fresh, locally grown ingredients and reduce our carbon footprint. As we grow, we hope to build on our sustainable practices.
Fennel and Twine pays above award wage, as we believe in creating a healthy work environment that is reflected in the standard of service provided to you.
