ST David’s most unusual attraction will hit the small screen next week as BBC Wales’ latest real life documentary airs.

The Bug Grub Couple features the innovative pair behind The Bug Farm, scientist Dr Sarah Beynon and award-winning chef Andy Holcroft.

Sarah and Andy have spent the last four years building foundations for their new venture and are bringing a brand new industry to Wales in the form of bug food.

Sarah, an Oxford University scientist and farmer founded the award-winning Dr Beynon’s Bug Farm on her original family farm in 2013.

The Bug Farm is a research and education centre focusing on the importance of bugs and how we can produce food efficiently and sustainably.

“I strongly believe that insect protein is a new ingredient here in the western world that can improve the sustainability of our food production systems and improve the nutritional quality of our food. It's not about a squirming grub on a stick, it's about utilising a new source of protein to help us to eat more healthily and more sustainably”, said Sarah.

Andy launched the Grub Kitchen, which is located alongside the farm and offers an interesting double menu with a choice of ‘normal’ food next to insect versions.

It is the UK’s first full-time restaurant serving food containing insects and recently won the award for the Most Innovative Business of the Year in Wales.

He added: “As a chef, it's not often you find new ingredients. Edible insects give me a whole larder of exciting, new ingredients and flavours to experiment with and the possibilities for new dishes are endless."

The challenge for the couple is to change people’s perceptions of bugs from creepy crawlies to edible, sustainable and tasty food.

The Bug Grub Couple will be broadcast on Monday, August 7 at 7.30pm on BBC One.
