There is something wonderfully special about gathering around a table. It is where food is shared, stories unfold and even the simplest moments can become lasting memories. Here, in the beautiful Shropshire countryside, that belief sits at the heart of Table Number Seven.
Surrounded by rolling fields, winding lanes and an ever-changing landscape, we find inspiration in the quiet beauty of rural life. Each season brings its own colours, flavours and small pleasures—from the first signs of spring to long summer evenings, abundant autumn harvests and comforting winter suppers.
Table Number Seven is a place for anyone who loves honest food and the joy of sharing it. Whether you are preparing a relaxed lunch for friends, baking something comforting for your family or simply making a delicious meal for yourself, we hope you will find recipes here that feel welcoming, achievable and full of flavour.
Every recipe at Table Number Seven is created by Flora Ashbury. Flora’s cooking celebrates the pleasure of making food with care, without losing sight of the fact that the best meals are often the ones that feel natural and unhurried. Her recipes are designed to be cooked in real kitchens, shared around real tables and enjoyed in the company of the people who matter most.
The name Table Number Seven captures the feeling we want to create: the anticipation of taking your seat, the warmth of being welcomed and the promise of something delicious to come. It is not about formality or perfection. It is about generous plates, familiar flavours, good conversation and the simple happiness of eating together.
Through this journal, Flora will share recipes, seasonal inspiration and stories from our corner of the Shropshire countryside. We hope it becomes somewhere you return to whenever you need an idea for supper, a special bake for the weekend or a little encouragement to gather people around your own table.
So, pull up a chair and make yourself at home.
Welcome to Table Number Seven. We are so pleased you are here.
