NEW BUSINESS Visit our showroom MERAKI M eet the new owner of Poundbury’s recently opened hair salon meraKi. Based at the entrance of Pummery Square, the former Hey Baby shop has been transformed into a trendy, modern hair salon. Owners Katie Burrows-Kerr and her wife Ruth said they chose the Greek name meraKi because it perfectly demonstrated what they were going to achieve with their new salon. Katie said: “We came across the word and it fitted our ethos completely – it means to do something with soul, creativity, love, to put something of yourself into your work.” Katie adds: “I have been a hairdresser for more than 20 years and I still love it. We wanted to do something really different here in Poundbury and we’re so pleased with how it has worked out. All our clients love it here and being in the square is a great location, plus of course everyone can park for free.” She added: “We both really like the style of Poundbury and we really admire what The Prince of Wales has achieved here. We’re pleased to be part of it.” Open Tuesday to Friday 9am - 5pm Saturday 9.30am - 4pm Closed Sunday and Monday Owner Katie Burrows-Kerr PICCOLO FIORE F Owner Susan and Pepo or a taste of Italy in a relaxed and intimate setting, head to Piccolo Fiore in Challacombe Square. New owners Susan and Pepo have added their own culinary flourish to the popular eaterie since September. On entering Piccolo Fiore, you’ll be warmly greeted by Susan who works at the front of house, while Pepo (who is originally from Bulagria) looks after the kitchen. Both are very people orientated, which comes from their background. Poundbury has proved to be the perfect location for them. Susan told Celebrating Poundbury: “We were looking for a small restaurant for two people. We looked online and saw Piccolo Fiore advertised. It was also Italian and Contemporary and Traditional suited Pepo’s cooking experience. We then met previous owner Mehmet who was also Bulgarian, so the relationship was very good.” Since opening, Susan and Pepo have said the response has been very positive and that they’ve become like friends with customers. With such a smooth and friendly transition, Piccolo Fiore is now attracting local residents and Poundbury businesses. The restaurant has just launched a regular pancake morning and has plans for a series of wine tastings in the spring. “Poundbury is a great location. We call it the happy quarter here in Challacombe Square." We’d heartily recommend you pop in and meet the new owners and try their delicious pizza, puddings and pancakes. WOOD BURNERS .
