How we started
The shop was conceived and established by Tessa and Beth in 2017, along with invaluable help from loyal friends, with a vision to bring the food they wanted to buy and eat to Folkestone! They ran the shop successfully for 3 years, with the help of some committed staff, friends and colleagues. When Beth moved away from Folkestone in 2021 the core group of those involved created a Limited Liability Partnership, so that the shop could continue to serve the community, collaboratively, with a structure that enabled the long-standing members of staff to join as partners.
In January 2026 Klara Darkly, one of the original core group and shop partner of the LLP, took over ownership the shop as a sole trader.
