The Tipsy Kitchen

A message to my customers ❣️

It is with bittersweet feelings that today I am announce the closing of The Tipsy Kitchen. A decision I have not taken lightly, however an opportunity has arisen for myself personally and amongst other factors, it’s now time for me to take a step in a different direction.

I started TK in the midst of a pandemic, a very strange period for all, and I was blown away by the response for our meals and services. Since then, we have moved kitchens, launched our subscription based service and sold our meals in 6 wonderful retailers and shops.

The past 2 and a half years have been the most exciting, busiest and brilliant 2 years and I cannot thank every single one of you more than enough for the constant ordering, wonderful feedback and general support for my little business.

2023 has seen a shift in consumer spending, a cost of living crisis and an increase in prices for supplies, overheads and generally across the board spending, making this industry with already tight margins, even tighter. Despite, this not being the sole reason for the closure of TK, can I please remind everyone to continue to shop locally and support those small businesses where you can - we’ve seen first hand how important it is, and how hard small teams like ourselves work just to sometimes not even break even.

As one (fridge) door shuts, another one opens and I’m excited for my next chapter after the most wonderful 2 years.

We are of course fulfilling all orders already placed but will not be taking any more going forward.

Thank you again for being hungry, (lazy 🤪) and generally top TK customers.

Holly and all of the TK team x 💕

Blimey! As if it’s been nearly 2 months since we last posted…🤦🏻‍♀️

Sorry we’re not very good at updating…but we have been quite busy. A few things we’ve got up to…

✨Easter came & went and our popular Hot Cross Bun Pudding was devoured amongst plenty of you.

✨I ran the London Marathon in 3 hours and 57 minutes raising over £2,000 for (all training fuelled by TK meals of course 😉)

✨Despite the not-so-spring weather, you guys are manifesting it by ordering heaps of fresh salads like our tasty Tuna Nicoise😋

✨Amongst the chaos of Xmas, Mother’s Day & Easter - somewhere we have lost 2 of our glass trifle bowls. If you have ordered food from us delivered in chinaware - can we please ask you check your cupboards in case they’re lingering there! We won’t tell you off, we all know nobody has time to organise and tidy Marie Kondo style 🤪PLEASE get in touch if you have one.

Hopefully we won’t leave it another 2 months before we post again!

Holly ✌🏼x

TK takes on The London Marathon 😳

After donning my TK apron in the day, I’m switching it over to some running trainers and TK sports kit outside of the kitchen, whilst I put some steps in ahead of the London Marathon in April.

So a small plea for my TK customers, friends & family…I’m running for a charity close to my heart and in memory of my wonderful friend. Therefore any spare pennies would be massively appreciated to help me reach my fundraising goal for Sarcoma UK.

I can’t thank every customer enough that’s bought off us, recommended us and came back for more - please keep being hungry, greedy & lazy 🤪

Sorry we’ve been so quiet recently…we’ve been very very busy & as a small team, we’ve been focusing on cooking all those pies rather than posting Instagram stories! You’ll find us in the kitchen from now until New Years…
