Meet The Herd
Joe and Keeley
Founders
It’s a family affair. Husband and wife duo, Joe and Keeley own and run Crumplebury. The couple care deeply about the experience of sharing delicious food with favourites and the magic that can be created when all of the elements of this experience are just right. They welcome Crumplebury guests to their home in Whitbourne with huge warmth. Before returning to the shire, Joe and Keeley lived in Jersey, Mumbai and most recently in Manila. With a passion for eating out, they enjoyed some truly exceptional restaurant experiences around the world. Crafted with enormous care, love and ambition, Crumplebury celebrates the history of Whitbourne Estate and the Evans family, whilst capturing some of the world-leading hospitality that Joe and Keeley have been blessed to enjoy in their lives. The result is something truly special.

Gabriella
Events Manager
Meet Gabriella, our Events Manager. Gabriella is fabulously stylish, impressively organised and has spectacular attention to detail. She loves to work closely with people, curating events that are completely personal to them and delights in organising the little touches that will be forever remembered. Before joining the Crumplebury herd, Gabriella ran her own international wedding business. Prior to this, she worked for Nando’s HQ in London, where she coordinated and ran large events both in the UK and abroad. She understands events of all shapes and sizes and delights in making the most extraordinary ideas come to life at Crumplebury.
A wider herd of wonderfully unique and talented humans help to keep the Crumplebury cogs turning. Many of our part-timers have worked for us since the beginning of Green Cow Kitchens. They can remember a time when wellies were an essential workwear item and Crumplebury was just an idea.
