**Problem with email deliveries to gmail addresses**

If you have subscribed to our newsletter which is supposed to bring updates straight into your inbox, you might have noticed that recently these emails have landed in your spam box with a warning if you have a gmail account.
There is nothing wrong with our emails, but Gmail has recently enforced new spam rules. We have followed all the instructions, spent a lifetime in the chat with Mailerlite, have authenticated our domain and email address. But now there is a problem within Mailerlite they are frantically trying to solve.

This is very frustrating and irritating for us, but there is nothing for us to do but pester Mailerlite to sort this out with Gmail. Fun, right?

So what’s the interim solution:

  • If you have another email address you can use, please subscribe with that one for our newsletter.
  • Check our updates on Facebook and Instagram.
  • Subscribe to updates from our blog on the website:

Fingers crossed this will all be sorted shortly!

Duende is open for bookings

Friday and Saturday nights throughout February £60 per head, optional wine flight £40. 

Award winning Chef Tim Zekki believes great food begins with great ingredients; he seeks out the finest local suppliers, for the highest quality produce. He brings creativity and skills honed over 30 years as a chef, and a healthy obsession with food, including foraging, hi-tech techniques and fine ingredients. 

Tim Zekki is chef patron of Duende restaurant in Wiveliscombe, Somerset. Tim first started to cook at his father’s restaurant in Cyprus, where he inherited a love of foraging, pickling and preserving from his grandmother.
He developed his skills in restaurants in London, and his love of fine ingredients led him to open and run two delis, in Isleworth and Twickenham, appearing on Gary Rhode’s Local Food Hero on UKTV. After a move to the Chilterns he ran pop up restaurants under the name Duende.
Moving to Somerset meant a chance to settle into a permanent place, where Duende was recognised by Taste of The West, and won Somerset Life’s Best Restaurant in its first year.
Tim sources local, sustainable produce, and often includes wild ingredient in his tasting menus. He enjoys pushing the boundaries of food, such as the challenge of inventing a beef-based dessert course for Exmoor Food Fest’s celebration of beef. He’s been a semi-finalist in the Craft Guild of Chef’s National Chef of the Year in 2020, ‘21 and ‘22.
Tim cooks tasting menus in people’s homes for private events and is currently a regular chef for events at William Sitwell’s Supper Clubs.
