After first meeting in 2012 while working in London’s fast-paced hospitality industry, Thomas Healey and Andreas Doverstav took over The Longholme in 2017 and in a short space of time have totally transformed the business.

Born in Boras, Sweden, Andreas worked for the likes of Oblix in the Shard and Jamie Oliver’s Barbecoa before moving to Bedford where the café is based on Longholme lake.

Andreas commented:

“While I have been living away from my home country for some years, it’s never far from my heart. We take inspiration where possible and explore Scandinavian flavours on our specials menus at The Longholme. I’m incredibly proud of what Tom and I have built, over the last 6 years, the business has achieved a great local reputation, and our location on the lakeside is unique and beautiful. 2023 will be the first full season with our new boat hire fleet back out on the water and we’re excited to see this service back in full swing again”

“The recipe I have chosen is one from my heritage and a classic in Sweden. It’s the ultimate indulgent, fish lovers toast and is always a huge hit with our customers, especially in the spring and summer when we feature it as a special.”
