Roseate Hotel
Visit to Watts Farm
Pictures for the People worked with Roseate Hotels to produce a video capturing a visit to Watts Farm, a family-run farm supplying fresh herbs, fruits, and vegetables. The film explores the story of the farm, its crops, and the journey of produce from field to hotel kitchen, highlighting freshness, quality, and heritage.
Celebrating Heritage and Craftsmanship
The video introduces viewers to the farm’s history, sharing the story of Donna Watts’ grandfather, who established the original farm. Through personal anecdotes and farm-life insights, the film reflects the dedication, skill, and passion involved in managing the land.
Showcasing Fresh, Seasonal Produce
Focusing on the crops grown at Watts Farm—such as Moroccan mint, flat parsley, coriander, rhubarb, asparagus, and a variety of kale—the video emphasises seasonal cycles, harvesting methods, and the emotional connection people have with fresh, local produce. Visuals highlight the vibrant colours, textures, and aromas that distinguish farm-fresh ingredients from supermarket alternatives.
From Farm to Table
The film details the journey of produce from field to restaurant, showing how daily harvests are collected, packed, and delivered directly to the Roseate Hotels’ kitchens. This underlines the quality, immediacy, and sustainability of the farm-to-table supply chain, as well as the farm’s versatility in serving a wide range of culinary uses.
A Sensory Experience of Freshness
By capturing the sights, sounds, and smells of the farm, the video conveys an immersive, sensory experience. From the earthy colours of rhubarb and asparagus to the aroma of freshly harvested herbs, viewers gain a strong sense of connection to the ingredients and the care involved in producing them.
