Can feel the stressful part of the season is going down.
November has been enjoyable. Just the right events which make us actually enjoy what we are doing.
We had a couple of markets, Stockbridge and Leith. Both of them were ok, we had lots of people coming over just to have the autumn kebab for the last time. (How cute is our new branded paper????)
Despite the cold, I’m enjoying the markets; the ultimate goal would be to always have a queue. I know, I’ll keep dreaming. Being a plant-based business is almost impossible, but dream big.
The highlight of the month was our first supper club. We had just 2 spots left, and I’m so grateful people travel from far just to eat our food. Reviews were pretty good. I hear you about the size of the third dish; I’ll try to hold Gemma to her Italian-size portions. However, everyone left awesome reviews, and their plates were very clean.
People wanted another Supper Club soon, and we already have a date. 7th of February. This one will be very limited, as the top floor will be reserved for all the couples having a wedding with us next year. If you want to come, keep an eye on your email; tickets will be released around the 15th of January.
And that’s us this month.
The food truck is currently being fixed for good at the garage; it’s already been there for 4 weeks, and I don’t want to ask how it’s going because I’m scared to hear bad news about structural damage.Glasgow Council told me 3 weeks ago that they were going to review our case, and despite my emails asking for updates, there’s still nothing, so during the whole of December, I will be sending them one email a day, to try to get the case closed before the 1-year accident anniversary. Let’s see if I manage to close the case and forget about it.
Monthly balance ⚖️
✅ 2 successful markets
✅ 1 Awesome Supper Club
✅ This month, we had +593k views on Instagram.My goal is to attract more people to the markets, I want a lot of people to try Gemma’s food because it’s awesome!
❌ Food truck still needs still to be fixed.
❌ We are still fighting with the Glasgow Council
❌We cancelled an event, but we got a weekend off 🙂
Gossip ish 💬
The other day at the Stockbridge market, a young man came and said to us, “You are like the Holy Grail of vegan food, difficult to find and amazing food when you get it”. He then came back the week after to the Leith Market, because in the end, we are not that difficult to find, you can do it here
Future plans 🚀
Finding a nice venue like Steampunk in Edinburgh. Affordable to have some pop-ups in Edinburgh, any idea?
