On the Seventh day the Lord said “Let there be bass” and so there was and it was good. Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy. 🙏
Much thanks to @acecollectiv for the opportunity to have a go on the sound system 🫡

April has always felt like a beginning. It was in April 2017 that I opened the doors of Stone Rock Pizza — an artisan, wood-fired pizzeria born from years of living in Italy and Spain, and a deep desire to bring something genuinely special back home to Chepstow.
"My focus has always been the same: to bring something unique, something new — something the people of Chepstow and the wider area truly deserve."
Back then, that meant hand-stretched Neapolitan-style pizza, crafted alongside my dear friend and trained pizza chef Pasquale Mangiacotti, baked in a woodfired oven in the heart of the First Hurdle Guest House — a place my mother Jane Cooper had lovingly cared for in the 20 years before I returned home. Within a few years, we had won the Gold Award for Best Pizzeria in the UK at the Pizza & Pasta Association Awards — two years running — as well as the Welsh Restaurant Award for Best Pizzeria. We were feeding something real in this community. And people felt it.
Then came the pandemic. And like so many of us, I found myself asking deeper questions about what truly matters. What became undeniable — what I think we all felt — is that we are nothing without community. Nothing without connection to nature, to place, to each other, and to ourselves.
That realisation quietly changed everything. It changed me. And it changed Stone Rock.
The evolution of this place over the past few years has in many ways mirrored my own personal journey — from restaurateur and hotelier to a much deeper focus on wellness, well-being, and the power of genuine human connection. Today, Stone Rock Lodge is a sauna and wellness centre, a community hub, a retreat space — and still, always — home to Chepstow's favourite pizza. Nine years in, the spirit is exactly the same: bring the very best back to Chepstow. Make it available to the people of this remarkable corner of Wales and England. Build something together that we are all proud of.
And this April 12th — we celebrate that. Together.
