In today’s world, we have seen a surge in support for local businesses. We queue for independent baristas, wear accessories from Sunday market stalls, and fill our cupboards with produce grown a stone’s throw away. Why is it then, that when the clock strikes for lunch and dinner, we tend to opt for convenience over anything else? From meal deals to delivery apps, we lean towards whatever is quickest and easiest with morals being thrown to one side. However, what if we told you that you can, in fact, order with the same convenience, all while still supporting local businesses? What’s more, you won’t have to sacrifice taste for time, either.
Introducing The Co-Kitchen in Dalston, a new name in London’s food industry that is transforming digital takeaways, providing an opportunity for budding businesses, and ultimately, enhancing our lunches and dinners.
