• DURING the first period of lockdown my team and I provided free meals for the key workers as a thank-you for the work that they do.

We gave away thousands of free meals to the local police, ambulance crews, Euston fire station and local hospitals. And all of the meals were well received. On reflection this was very rewarding personally and for my team of chefs.

When the second period of lockdown was announced, we had to close our doors for a second time, but this time I decided to refocus our offer and provide free meals for the more vulnerable and needy members of the community, namely through Help the Aged and the Salvation Army.

We are currently producing about 500 meals a week for these charities and hope to continue this offer into the new year. As a business that has been severely impacted by the Covid-19 restrictions, I wanted to use the time as an opportunity to give a little back to the community.
