We Celebrate, Ignite, Empower, Teach & Support through Food and Heritage
OUR STORY
From a pop-up taverna to a community movement
Established in 2014, we originally started as a pop-up traditional Greek taverna. Since then we have grown into a recognised third-sector organisation that runs a series of community-impacting projects and fundraisers — assisting people in our community through the love of food and heritage.
