Our first Pay What You Want night was a huge success!
8 happy diners 🥰 that's all we wanted!
The menu was kept secret until the guests arrived and they were given a QR code to pay at the end, putting in the amount on their own phone for discretion.

Bar included drinks from

and , soft drinks from .hip.pop

As the menu is no longer secret, see below and get an idea of the kind of menu format you can expect. Sometimes it will be themed with a cuisine and sometimes it will be varied as this one was. Lots of great feedback to work with and keep building on this concept.

To celebrate 6 months of Mabel, I've written my first blog about the highs and lows of parenthood.

Contains raw honesty, which some might find uncomfortable, but as I was taught when I was a child 'honesty is the best policy'

A few years ago we watched a certain documentary about the effects of sea fishing and the terrible practises still ocurring and we were left shell shocked. Not really having the knowledge or a good enough counter argument we stopped eating fish that day.

With the meat we cook we can go to the farms and see the animals and their welfare in person. We weren't comfortable contributing to the fishing industry without that traceability.

Since then we have fulfilled any pre - booked fish menus as sustainably as we can but without much confidence in that if the truth be told. We are constantly reviewing our processes and looking for improvements, especially with regards to sustainability. Our plan moving forward was to stop serving fish as well as eating it but we have been holding back for a better option and doing some research......

Today we visited in Romsey and had a tour of the farm with Arthur, Lewis and Simon where they showed us the whole process undertaken to produce their fantastic product. These rainbow trout have tonnes of space, are vaccinated against diseases and have the highest welfare conditions which ensure healthy, clean water and fish with minimal impact on the surrounding rivers and streams. Read more about their sustainability here or via the link in our bio.

From today we will only be offering
trout for fish options and we can't wait to get stuck in to development for future menus.

In fact we have started already - we shared some teriyaki wet cured trout, jalapeño cured and maple smoked with the team for lunch with some ES flatbreads and sauces.

Mabel loved seeing her first fish and we had a great morning. Thanks to all the team for welcoming us.
Exciting times.

If you would like to have rainbow trout on your next event menu get in touch.

Eat Street is 4 years old today!

A time to reflect and appreciate how far we have come.

When I started Eat Street I had a clear vision and values for the business.
I was reacting to redundancy but I had passion and was excited, also petrified. I naievely expected it to provide me a wage from the start, to replace my job I had lost. And I guess it could have if it wasn't for those strong values.....the pre order was the biggest obstacle between ES and it's customers. "Can I order food for tonight?", "why do I need to pre order?", "we've been meaning to try you for ages but always think about it too late", "we are too spontaneous to think ahead".

But Eat Street is and always has been pre order only, zero waste and we believe having strong values and vision is how you create a good brand that people can trust.

So I needed to get more money for the mortgage and stuff......but when? I was already working a full day for ES. So I worked in Sainsburys 5am-9am to support this new venture.

And then Laurel joined......

I have no doubt that if I had continued alone I would have had to sell out on my values and try to make fast money to survive. She saved me in more ways than one, business wise and just in life!
She fixed Quickbooks which was a shambles and she instantly filled in all the gaps which are my weaknesses with her strengths. Together we became a dream team.
She instantly bought the vision I was selling and we continue to learn together. She believed in ES and more importantly in me when I doubted/doubt myself. My biggest cheerleader.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the last 4 years. We are hugely grateful and humbled.
Watch out for a birthday bash next year.
