Our aim is to create a place where people can connect with food. A place where our community can come together and have an opportunity to meet with suppliers and learn about just how glorious food and wine is. Food has always played such a big part in our lives, and now in today's world of packaged, artificially flavoured and fast foods that are low in nutrition, we are seeing a gap in the "food chain", a gap in the understanding of just how wonderful the process of providing a delicious and exciting meal is. The pleasure that comes from spending time with loved ones in the kitchen and around a beautiful meal that you cooked yourself.
At Heart of Hall, we embrace the small producers of food and wine, the urban farmers, the boutique food suppliers and the creators, chefs and cooks and share in their dreams. We value the stories behind their products that we use and consume every day. We love being a part of that community.  We want to foster the importance of fresh food and home cooking.
It is more than just the food, it is the items that go along with food,  getting passed down through the generations such as recipes, copper pots, serving spoons, crockery, cutlery and of course the stories.
