January. You won’t believe what it’s coming 

It’s been cold, hasn’t it?

Well, January is usually a month to relax a bit, who really wants to be out eating? Well… some of you do, because despite the cold and rain, people still came to visit us at the market. Thank you for that ❤️

This newsletter is going to be a short one, because something is happening in February and I’ll probably be sending an extra email. It’s something you wouldn’t expect in a million years. Anyway, here are the highlights of January. WE GOT OUR FOOD TRUCK BACK!!!!! Can you believe it? It took more than a year for it to be properly fixed. Over the next few weeks, we need to wrap it and give it our characteristic yellow colour, but we’re finally getting there. And some more big news: we finally reached an agreement with Glasgow Council, and they covered some of our loss of earnings. This means we can start closing old chapters and move forward with a fresh start. Let’s see what 2026 brings us.

Now, we have a big question for you.

How would you feel about losing the kebabs at the markets and having our gnocchi instead?

We’re thinking about a different approach, perhaps gnocchi at Stockbridge… 👀

Not much else from our end. I’m feeling very positive about this year. When I look back at January 2025, it really feels like this could be the year to grow the business: more weddings, more catering, more supper clubs…

And that’s us.

Many exciting things are coming, so you’ll be hearing from me again very soon.

Gossip ish 💬

Sometimes people still surprise me, this time in a good way.

Two markets ago, a man approached our stall, asking questions and having a look at the food. He didn’t look like one of our regular customers, so I expected him to walk away the moment he heard we were plant-based.

But he surprised me and decided to give it a try.

A few minutes later, he came back and said, “I’ve never eaten vegan food, but this is delicious.”

I’m sure he has eaten plant-based food before, but I understood what he meant.

He came back again in December and then again in January. When I thanked him for coming back, he said, “Always. I always look for you at the market.”

So once again, I learned not to judge a book by its cover.

Future plans 🚀

We are trying to organise a very interesting collaboration, something we’ve never done before.
