Seasonal Menu Shoot with Stepstone Imaging

Food has the power to evoke memories, bring people together, and create a sense of warmth – something that feels especially important in the heart of winter. When Macknade approached Stepstone Imaging last December to capture their winter menu, we knew this shoot would be about more than just food photography. It was about storytelling – showcasing the comfort, indulgence, and seasonal ingredients that make winter dining so special.

Behind the Scenes at Macknade

Macknade is renowned for its passion for quality produce and great food experiences, making it a dream client for us at Stepstone Imaging. The shoot took place in their welcoming café, where the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingled with the scent of slow-cooked stews, baked pastries, and spiced seasonal drinks.

Our goal? To bring those scents, textures, and flavours to life through photography. Each shot was carefully composed to reflect the depth of the dishes – from steaming bowls of soup and crusty bread to indulgent desserts that were almost too beautiful to eat. The flickering candlelight, the rustic wooden tables, and the soft winter sunlight streaming through the windows all played their part in setting the scene.

Sharing the Story with Produced in Kent Members

As there’s still a chill in the air, now feels like the perfect time to share some of these images with the wider Produced in Kent community. Perhaps they’ll inspire you to visit Macknade for a hearty meal, a rich coffee, or a leisurely catch-up with friends. Whether you're looking for a quick lunch or a long, cosy afternoon in a welcoming setting, Macknade’s café is the perfect spot.
