We're TWO! 🎈
Subject: We’re Two! (And we’re hoping the "Terrible Twos" is just a myth...) 🥄
Dear valued partners,
They say the "Terrible Twos" are defined by unpredictable meltdowns, a sudden obsession with the word "no," and throwing food on the floor just to see what happens. While we've officially hit that milestone today, we're doing everything in our power to ensure that cliché doesn't ring true for us—mostly because we've realised that throwing food is a lot less fun when you're the ones who have to clean the kitchen afterwards.
Today marks our 2nd Anniversary! 🎉
It's been a whirlwind two years. In fact, we've been growing so fast that we've spent much of our "toddlerhood" outgrowing our clothes—or in our case, our kitchens. We are thrilled to announce that we have recently moved into our fourth (and hopefully last for a long while!) professional kitchen.
Located in the heart of Broomhill, this new space is an operational haven. We've kitted it out with top-of-the-line equipment to better serve you, including our brand-new stone-base pizza oven and our much-loved (and very hard-working) commercial dishwasher.
The Great Kitchen Migration 🚚
Kitchen #1
Dylan's University Kitchen 🎓
Dylan starting a premium catering business out of his university kitchen. His housemates found it highly amusing.
(Spoiler: The novelty of free samples wore off when there was no counter space left).
Kitchen #2
First Commercial Space 🏢
We got our first actual commercial space! We felt like real adults. Briefly.
Kitchen #3
The Renovation 🛠️
We poured our hearts into beautifully renovating Kitchen #2 to make it perfect... only to realise we had already outgrown it and had to move out 4 months later. Oops.
Kitchen #4
Our Broomhill Home (Current) 🏠
Our Broomhill operational haven. Complete with top-of-the-line gear and a dishwasher we love more than is professionally appropriate.
Where Fine Dining Meets the Classroom.
What makes our new home truly special is its dual identity. By day, it is the engine room for the healthy, nutritious meals we deliver to your settings.
By night, our facility transforms into The Aston—Broomhill's premier A la carte restaurant and social destination.
"Having a home that functions as a high-end restaurant means that fine dining quality isn't just a marketing slogan; it's our literal foundation. We bring that same level of culinary precision and chef-led expertise to every nursery and school meal we produce."
The Sweet Stuff (Minus the Sugar!)
When the new EYFS nutritional guidelines came into full effect, many thought desserts had to be strictly limited to plain yoghurt and fruit forever. Not here! We worked tirelessly to create, test, and perfect entirely sugar-free dessert recipes that still look and taste absolutely amazing.
