We're still collecting donations
On the 1st May 2020 we'd raised £680 with 31 supporters in 28 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.
We are proud to be a small independent vegan business, but need your help and support to get through this.

On the 1st May 2020 we'd raised £680 with 31 supporters in 28 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.
The global COVID-19 pandemic has created a very uncertain landscape for millions of British small businesses, which is going to make it very challenging for businesses to survive.
Crowdfunder are offering up their platform to allow all UK small businesses to pre-sell their meals, events, hotel bookings etc. for cash now on a promise to redeem these at a later date.
Like many businesses, we recently closed our doors. Our main reasoning was, and still remains, keeping our staff and customers safe. As essential as our vegan food is to some, the safety of our staff is paramount. We have sadly been informed by our insurance company that they will not cover us for business closure due to the Corona virus. We are also yet to receive any government help. However, we are still expected to pay our rent, utilities, insurance and many other business bills and commitments.
Our passion has always been creating and serving amazing vegan food. We have always been a 100% vegan business, choosing ethics over profit, and spreading the vegan message through great food. We find ourselves in challenging and heart breaking times, when many small independents like us could disappear. We need your help to remain a-float, and get back open when this is all over.
Rather than ask for money, we are asking you to buy now, and receive later. Hopefully during a sunny afternoon, when you can enjoy a cold drink, with one of our famous southern fried fricken burgers, and some cheese and garlic loaded donner fries. We might even bring back our famous munch box ;-)
We ask project owners to honour their rewards wherever possible but please note that all pledges are donations and there is no guarantee that you will receive any rewards from the project owner. Please see Crowdfunder's Terms of Use for more information regarding rewards for pledges.
