About Us

Founded in 2025, Artichoke & Basil was founded by Sofia Knight-Renshaw at just 19. Inspired by spending some time in Italy and loving the food and the attitude around it- figured bringing a little lesser known part of it to events and markets would be a good idea. My Mam and Gran used to do markets and from a very young age I would go along and help them at markets- mainly Newcastle Quayside, this created a major love for it so when the chance came to do it for my own business I took it!
