With over 20 years' experience of making and demonstrating award-winning preserves, Vivien Lloyd is recognised as a leading authority on domestic preservation.

With a number of prizes and accolades behind her, including numerous first prizes for her preserves at the Royal Welsh Show, Vivien's passion for preserving has seen her featured in the Sunday Telegraph, on ITV Central's 'Heart of the Country' programme and on BBC Radio 4 'Food Programme'.

Passionate about ensuring the age-old traditional recipes are not passed over in favour of more modern (and often incorrect) interpretations, Vivien is now keen to share her expertise and knowledge and to revive what she feels is a declining and misunderstood art.

Her chutneys are made using locally sourced fruit and vegetables. Made in small batches, these traditional chutneys, not to be confused with modern, short cooking and short keeping products, are now available in a number of retail outlets.
