We revolt against beige,
bland and boring.
We are groundbreakers,
taste makers & industry shakers.
We fight for creativity,
individuality and flavour.
And we are here to show your
taste buds a good time!
Don’t forget the source
We don’t procure. We partner up. Local is the bare minimum – we seek out bright new beacons of the industry who share our commitment to putting convention through the grinder. Or, to be more accurate, our chefs do. Because we believe chefs need to be chefs. And that means choosing suppliers they’re personally confident with.
Knead
A Baking Revolution
Our baker dozen are on a mission to arm 223 bakers across our business with the confidence and skills to bake bread from scratch. We’re getting our hands in the flour, sharing stories through dough, teaching our bakers everything they ‘knead’ to know. Crust us, this is going to be big!
Bigging up the beverage
The beverage is humble no more, it’s fully stepped into its main-character era. Morning, noon and night, it steals the spotlight thanks to our army of talented baristas.
They’ve turned everything from coffee to smoothies into full-on art form, powered by training from the rock stars of the beverage world – Extract Coffee Roasters and two-time World Coffee in Good Spirits Champion, Dan Fellows.
Because everyone likes their drink just so, our Flat White Club trains teams to perfect your cup using our signature blends, Society and Unity. Add in our beverage influencers shaking up trends and our seasonal sips keeping things fresh, you’ve got a drinks experience that’s anything but ordinary.
Brewed
for good
A cup that connects communities
We know social impact matters, to our customers and to us. Unity Club, our guest roast with Extract Coffee Roasters, is crafted to flex effortlessly as a standout guest roast or a true hero blend. Sourced from smallholder farmers in Papua New Guinea, it’s shaped by families working together in their mountain “coffee gardens,” where every harvest supports education, healthcare and the future of their communities.
Our Unity Club blend celebrates that story while empowering communities closer to home. For every bag purchased, we donate directly to a regional charity, from Scotland’s STV Appeal and The Shelter MK to The Crumbs Project in Bournemouth. Every cup poured fuels meaningful change, connecting communities near and far.
the best
The chefs that make the chefs
We couldn’t expect our chefs to become the best if they didn’t get to learn from the best. That’s why we choose tutors who don’t just make stunning dishes – they make headlines and even history. And we’re happy to name names. So if you want to be as inspired as our trainees, Google: Bettina Campolucci Bordi, Ruth Hansom, Josh Eggleton, Mark Moriarty, Richard Corrigan, Hannah Catley, Gary Maclean and Jenny Chandler.
