💥ANNOUNCEMENT DROPPING TUESDAY 18/04/23💥

Where food and theatre meet.

Any ideas yet?



(Sorry we’ve butchered your pics for the sake of the tease, promise we’ll release the proper ones next week 💋)

This Summer, we’re doing something huge, and kinda dramatic 👀

It'll be the biggest of its kind in London.
It'll be delicious (of course).
It'll be where food and theatre meet.

Keep your eyes peeled for the big reveal next week, you'll wanna take a seat for this one.

Artwork 🎨 -

To celebrate International Women’s Day, we sat down with the lovely ladies from Mumbai Mix to chat all things women in the food biz. ⚡️💥From inKERBator graduates to an in-house residency at The Understudy in the National Theatre in just a year, Mumbai Mix has gone from strength to strength. 🔥🍛

If you’ve already met Mohini (mum), Deshna and Dimple (daughters) at one of our markets or in The Understudy, you’ll know these three are not only the loveliest bunch of traders, they’re also bringing the best flavour-packed Indian eats to London and taking the street food world by storm. We had the chance to sit down with all three ahead of this years IWD… ♥️

WHAT’S IT LIKE BEING A FEMALE-LED BUSINESS IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY?

We love it and are super proud of how far we have come! We left the realms of a steady salary and 9-5 schedule and entered a predominantly male-dominated profession, but this didn’t scare us. We were determined to match our male colleagues in everything they do to run their businesses.

HAVE YOU FACED ANY CHALLENGES AS A WOMAN IN BUSINESS?

As with most working mums, my biggest challenge is juggling my family commitments and co-running Mumbai Mix. Running a small business means we are wearing many hats in any one day.  I am determined not to compromise the time I spend with my kids and often have to sacrifice my own downtime – So TV time and sleep can sometimes be a luxury (sob sob)

WHICH FEMALE PROFESSIONALS INSPIRE YOU, IN FOOD AND BEYOND?

(GBBO winner). A self-made entrepreneur who had the courage to enter GBBO and build a career around something she is passionate about. 

and her principles on sustainability and food wastage but also for how far she gone with .

because she represents hope. She is a firm believer that your circumstances don’t have to determine your future and that you can direct your own path with hard work, resilience and integrity.

📸 banging snaps from the hun

So, on Thursday night Mumbai Mix, BBPS + Lucky's took to the stage, slinging *and* speaking at an event hosted by the Compass Foundation in Buffini Chao Deck, the ridiculously breath taking rooftop spot at the top of the National Theatre 🦚

We had around 70 people, who had a spread of fluffy Sicilian pizza slices, Nashville sliders + Mumbai thalis with a variety of snacks 🍔

They then stood + spoke about their journey from the KERB up, from our INKERBATOR markets etc to slinging at pretty fancy events like this one...

We're proud as hell 🌱
