About Us

Mellis, Suffolk, United Kingdom
Three years ago Titus and Jasmin Rowlandson relocated from Peckham London to a beautiful creaking Elizabethan farmhouse in the tangled wilds of Suffolk. The house belonged to a friend of theirs who was particularly interested in nature, conservation and the environment and subsequently left the house and surrounding land to run wild hosting a myriad of life. The house is built mainly of wood. Ivy, rose and Jasmin clamber up the outer walls and in places tendrils creep through nooks and crannies right into the house. The house sits in twelve acres of rich meadow land, a mile of thick hedgerow and a variety of trees, Willow, Ash, Oak, Mulberry, Quince, Apple and Walnut. Jasmin Rowlandson is a sculptural ceramist who loves to cook. Titus Rowlandson restores classic Italian cars and loves to eat. With Jasmin's love of cooking and Titus's love of eating her cooking, along with the idyllic setting, it seemed only natural to begin The Walnut Tree Farm Lunch Club. Once a month Titus and Jasmin will be hosting a four course lunch at the farm. Wherever possible Jasmin will be cooking with home grown and local seasonal produce.

Happy New Year

New year and a fresh start. The children are back at school, the house is nearly clean and tidy. I'm a bit of a stickler for tradition so the Christmas tree remains until the 12th night.
Lots of new things on the horizon this year. Lunch club will resume in spring, when the daffodils awake, the birds get busy and my vegetable patch gets interesting.
We are also working on a new project which we are really excited about. More details will follow shortly.
For now I am going to go and enjoy this very beautiful blustery sunny day.
