Set against the expansive views of Scout Scar above Kendal, this conversation explores what it takes to build a values led business over the long term.

This is nourishing conversation about food as care, navigating through uncertainty, and trusting your instincts.
Walking route
📍 Scout Scar, Kendal, Cumbria
Scout Scar is a gentle yet expansive limestone escarpment overlooking Kendal and the Lyth Valley. It is a well worn, accessible walk with wide open, stunning views.
For Mel, this route is a deep personal meaning. It is a walk she has known since childhood, shared with her grandparents and parents, and now enjoyed with her own family. The perfect choice for our walk and talk.
