Hello everyone! We’re a couple of bored of chefs who want to get cooking again, so we’re setting up a pop-up at @Thehonoroakpub so we can start offering our yummy food back to the public!

A mix of British, Spanish, and Asian, we are offering lots of lovely sharing food to enjoy at home.

We will be setting up on Deliveroo but we will also be open for walk-ins from the 22nd.

Hopefully you’ll be trying some of our lovely produce soon!!

Sounds great! Will there be a number to call for walk-ins or will it be order as you arrive?

Look forward to trying the food!

Either will be acceptable. You can use this number if you do wish to order by phone 07543028786. Follow us on instagram where we’ll be posting the finalised menu in the next few days!

So only instagram users will be able to view your menu. Not a good business decision to limit your audience.

There’s a link to the Instagram on the original post. You can view it for free, but beware it might make you hungry!!!

Unfortunately you have to sign up to instagram/farcebook to view that link,which was my original point.

Hmmm, I can see most of it without logging in… maybe I’m lucky.

If / when a menu is posted, perhaps it will be okay for us to repost it here too @pubkitchentakeover ?

In fairness I can see it, but when you click on the sample menu to expand it, it asks you to login. Hopefully as you say it can be posted here so everyone can access it if they don’t use various social media, or I guess just walk by and see!

It’s actually a pretty good one. Let’s not put a business down before they’ve even got up and running.

If you are referring to the menu,I made no comment about that,just the fact that it was only on Farcebook & Instagram so limiting their customer base.

Here it is our final menu! Can’t wait to start serving to SE23 :yum::yum:
Skate cheeks are likely to change to monk/cod based on what we can source daily, and we are also considering an off menu vegan bao with glazed aubergine :eyes:

I’m looking forward to trying out your menu. Is there a change you’ll offer delivery soon?

pubkitchentakeover
23 Feb '21

We’re looking to set up with Deliveroo in the next few weeks, I will keep you updated on its progress. For now we can only offer click and collect.

pubkitchentakeover
24 Feb '21

So to join Deliveroo, Just Eat, or Uber Eats, they require a VAT number. I have applied for this two weeks ago with the understanding that it would take two weeks to arrive. Unfortunately after calling HMRC to follow this up they have informed me that in the current situation it could take up to 12 weeks for the VAT registration to go through.

VAT registration is generally required for companies expecting to turnover more than 85,000 a year which we are not, moreover said delivery platforms take a large chunk of each sale you make which is just not financially viable for a small pop up business like ourselves.

It is a shame but if we do receive our VAT number in time and the business is making enough money we will definitely set up delivery. For now it will only be click and collect so all I can say is support our business and we will see where it goes!

Thank you,

Zane

Thanks Zane. Sounds an absolute pain and probably not worth it. My interest in delivery is distance. I don’t have access to a car or bike so any food I pick up taken home on foot. And for food that is fried time isn’t always kind to it.

I’ll likely try you out this weekend. But all I’d asked is if you use packaging designed to keep the food warm and well protected. Good luck with your launch week.

Thanks for understanding, I thought the best approach would be to just lay it out openly for everyone.

Regarding transportation - we essentially designed the menu around what would travel well - so the integrity of most of the dishes should remain relatively high in our containers, we’ll make sure we keep it piping hot for when you collect it.

Hopefully see you soon

thanks

The pork bao and chicken croquettes were particular standouts.

Delicious food tonight, loved the monkfish and fried chicken, and was all still warm after the 10min walk home. Will be back next week!

Just wanted to let everyone know we will be doing a roast for mother’s day - Dry aged beef rump from Flock and Herd butchers, with boulangere potatoes, roasted shallots, purple sprouting broccoli, and gravy.
We will be doing braised artichoke hearts for our vegan alternative.

Pre orders can be made through our website, then just give us a call and let us know when you would like to pick it up! Thanks
