How we Became a Gluten Free Restaurant

2020-04-30T10:53:55+01:00

We were recently listed in The Telegraph as one of London's top ten restaurants to eat gluten free food. Some of you were asking how we got to this point since our initial start in April 2012 to now and defining our place in the community of restaurants in London. Our initial intention was to serve delicious, healthy food without additives. No MSG slogan on our windows attracted dinners with many different types of food allergies. The most common group were Coeliacs. To make processes easier for staff and customers, I introduced a selection of gluten free options on the menu [...]

Getting Together For A Good Cause

2020-04-30T10:53:56+01:00

Last Monday proved to be a great success! We fulfilled our target and raised £2198 which will go to the children in Vietnam charity. The Mayor, Councillor Ken Smith and the Mayoress, Mrs. Madeleine Smith who celebrated the event with us just before their last day in office showed esteemed support for the occasion. It was a truly splendid evening. Everything came together smoothly. It seemed effortless for people who didn't all necessarily know each other to sit together over a good meal and show kindness to those in Vietnam who they may never meet. We also had a table filled [...]

With the abundance of your good wishes and patronage, we are able to give something back to this community. Many farmers there are grappling with rice on a daily basis. Clothing pieces are scarce for children to keep warm when going to school every morning. We could make a world of difference by helping them buy warm clothes, shoes, books and even food. A [...]

Good Food Daily

2020-04-30T10:53:56+01:00

I headed down for some fun at the Seething Freshwater Sardine Festival at Claremont Gardens. The Surbiton Food Festival gets better every year. Delicious food stalls serving some fantastic goodies. Yum Yum Chocolates in particular were splendid, and their profits are going to the earthquake victims in Nepal. As always, it's inspiring to see all the neighbourhood businesses and individuals come together over food, and in doing so; bringing many benefits to the community. Being part of the festival gives us a chance to demonstrate why we do what we do, and why good food is important for all of us. I [...]
