Born and raised in Oswestry, Paul grew up foraging mushrooms in the local countryside—a passion that has come full circle with Shrooma. He has used his property background to secure the Grade II listed building that now serves as Shrooma’s home, and his mushroom knowledge to convert the upstairs into a specialist urban farm. Paul believes customers should know exactly where their food comes from, and trust and transparency in food sourcing are core values at Shrooma. There’s no better way to ensure that than by growing mushrooms just upstairs in the café’s urban farm. When he’s not at Shrooma, you’ll find Paul mentoring property investors or trainspotting with his son. Paul’s motto? Mushrooms make everything better.
