Today is an emotional day for us at Meadows as it is the last shift for our most awesome pastry chef
Shannon’s work is what Meadows is all about; incredibly consistent quality of the highest order. Food that is unbelievably delicious yet approachable and unassuming, made with so much love and care that it really is a hug in every brown paper bag!
For so many of our customers, Shannon will have made their best ever brownie, chocolate chip cookie, salad, focaccia, granola, gingerbread, mince pie, Christmas cake. She has raised the bar of what is ‘the most delicious ever’ for so many of us. At Meadows, serving the ‘most delicious’ that we can source or make ourselves simply is our job and no-one does that better than Shannon.
But we won’t only miss her cooking, we will miss her love and friendship. That’s been a constant for four years and a feeling of family has grown around that tiny back kitchen with Shan at the heart of it. We’ve laughed, cried, sworn loudly, hid behind the fridge, brewed so many coffees and opened wine at questionable hours on December days. I can’t yet begin to conceive of Meadows without her in it!
Shan we will miss you and we send you on your way over to Bristol with all the love and appreciation of the whole Meadows community as well as all our best wishes for you and your beautiful family in your next chapter ❤️😘
