Tom Mitchell and his sister, Camilla, established Puddledub Pork in 1999, and his family came to the farm in 1905.
Tom said: “We have farmed within a few miles of Kirkcaldy for more than 100 years. In that time, the town’s fortunes have chopped and changed in many ways.
“We are passionate about Fife, provenance and working with those in our community, so this pop-up with be a very interesting venture and we look forward to spending time in Kirkcaldy over Easter.”

Cupcake Coffee Box and the Gelato Box are run by owners Simon Dugmore and Mike Lowe.
And they’re keen to use their ‘community hub’; to explore new ventures and business ideas.
Mike said: “We started from very small beginnings and have proved it is possible to create a loyal customer base in the town – and then expand the business to meet a growing demand.
