Pepper Ashford is the town chef. She can visit the inn as soon as it is open. Once her restaurant is built, she cooks and sells food there, and townsfolk prefer eating at her tables instead of the inn hearth.

Restaurant upgrades
On the restaurant's town records page you can spend gold and ingredients on two upgrade paths:
- Full bellies — townsfolk stay full longer between meals
- Quick service — meals at the restaurant finish faster and fill more hunger
What she sells
The restaurant restocks skewers, salads, and pies (with a few produce sides) for villagers and tourists to buy from shop spots.
Quest board
Once Pepper is a town resident, she can post food fetch jobs on the guild hall quest board. Bring the ingredients or cooked dishes she asks for and turn them in through her dialogue.
