WHEN A LETTER MAKES OUR WEEK 💌

We got a handwritten letter this week from Zelda after trying our Fish Curry.

She loved it so much she wrote to the Chef to say that after spending time in Goa, India — she feels our Chef could teach the country a thing or two about fish curry. 😍

That’s the biggest compliment we’ve ever had.

Zelda - thank you. We passed your letter straight to the kitchen team and they are buzzing. This is why we love what we do.

Our Fish Curry is made with proper spices, fresh fish, and a lot of love.

Have you tried it yet?
