"I worked with Dec's Kitchen to bring a concept from the UAE to London - Retro Feasts.

They were the integral ingredient to launching the concept through their experience of the market, operational know-how, supply chain and creative expertise to collaboratively adapt the menu to suit the market.

 

Retro Feasts delivery-driven operation and simple to execute process has allowed us to scale to 15 locations within the first year."
