Bringing that feeling to life takes real craft. Like seafood, it’s all in the details, the care, the little things done right. That’s why we work with Dean Forge, a family-run business in Devon who hand-craft their own stoves – which you’ll find featured proudly in some of our restaurants. Their passion shows, so when Mitch heard about their Dartmoor Baker Stove, he couldn’t resist trying it out himself.

Cooking seafood on a wood burner at home is a joy. No gadgets, no gizmos—just steady heat and simple rhythm. You feel the fire, adjust as it cooks, and the food responds.
It’s almost meditative, and it brings a touch of winter-coast magic to every plate. At home, cooking over a flame, you can capture that same feeling we aim for in our restaurants: good food, warmth and a proper seasonal moment.

Mitch tested four recipes he felt would work best in the Dartmoor Baker. From scallops in a creamy sauce to whole fish like sea bream, the Dean Forge Dartmoor Baker Stove is very capable of handling a wide variety of winter evening meals, pairing beautifully with the seafood you know and love from our Online Seafood Market.
