Ukrainian Snack to Snack

Aim: We aim to open a professional kitchen and share the flavours of authentic Ukrainian cuisine with more people across the UK

We’re a husband-and-wife team from Ukraine who moved to the UK and decided not just to preserve our culinary heritage, but to share it. Our story is one of real growth — from dehydrated oranges in a home kitchen to a fast-growing family-run food business.

We began by making healthy snacks — meat jerky and dried fruits like bananas, strawberries, apples, oranges, lemons, melons, raspberries, and kiwis.
Then we added a range of traditional frozen Ukrainian dishes, including:

varenyky (dumplings)

pelmeni (meat dumplings)

holubtsi (stuffed cabbage rolls)

stuffed peppers

syrnyky (cottage cheese pancakes)

filled crepes and blinis

Soon after, we introduced ready-to-eat hot meals, authentic Ukrainian salads, and even homemade salted pork fat (salo) and lightly salted herring — something nearly impossible to find in the UK without vinegar or added sugar.

What We Offer Now:

Frozen ready meals and snacks

Fresh hot meals and weekly meal plans

Traditional Ukrainian salads and appetisers

24-hour local delivery

Nationwide UK postal shipping of some items

Catering and buffet services for events

Private chef experiences

Gastro boxes with cheese, meats, and snacks for sharing

Coverage across South London and the South of England

Where We're Going Next:

We’re ready to expand from our home setup into a full-scale professional kitchen. We need more space, commercial equipment, freezers, and a team to:

Boost production

Serve more people across the UK

Bring Ukrainian food culture to new regions

Operate as a food brand with professional standards.

We’ve spent a year working from our home kitchen, constantly refining our processes, investing in new tools, and testing different packaging — all to deliver not just delicious food, but the best possible service.

We’re not perfect, but we keep going. We value our customers deeply, and we pride ourselves on being flexible, responsive, and always improving.

💰 What Your Support Will Fund:

3–6 months of kitchen rental

Commercial kitchen equipment (freezers, prep tables, ovens, sinks, packing stations)

Food safety certification and logistics

Hiring part-time staff for scaling

Funding goal: £15,000

We’re building more than a business — we’re creating a cultural bridge through food. By supporting us, you help a small, independent Ukrainian business grow and thrive in the UK, preserve culinary traditions, and bring unique, home-style dishes to new tables.
