| | | hello everyone, | | Hope you've all had a lovely long weekend.
We're feeling particularly excited this week in the Mills house, as a dream we've had for six years is about to become a reality…
Matt and I started dating six years ago, and within weeks we were talking about working together. Matt took a leap of faith, quitting his job to become the CEO of deliciously ella, and we began to turn my recipe website and cookbook into a proper family business. When we first starting thinking about what we could do, our dream was to open a restaurant. At the time, central London restaurant rents were too expensive for us, so we opened a small deli instead. Our deli on Weighhouse Street has been a home for us, but we've always felt it could be so much better if we could do more of a restaurant experience.
We've been closed for most of the last fifteen months and have spent a lot of that time reflecting on how we could make that initial dream a reality. In that reflection, and due to a change in planning rules, we decided to take a leap of faith and turn the deli into a restaurant, with a huge kitchen, a brand new menu, table service, outdoor seating and plant-based cocktails. Pouring so many resources into this in the midst of a pandemic has been daunting in many ways, but as we get closer to opening, the excitement is really building.
So today, let me introduce you to 'plants by de', our home of plant-based food; and a place to showcase how innovative and delicious plant-based food can be. Bookings are now open, so please come and see us as soon as you can. I can't wait for you to see it!
Love,
Ella xxx | | | | |
