This is Phoebe. She is also only 17. She joined the team last spring/summer, and she has been an instant match. Everybody loves Phoebe. ❤️❤️❤️

She’s been a fantastic addition to the Lacy Nook, and we can’t wait to see all the great things she’ll bring moving forward! Even though she appears shy and calm, Phoebe shines with confidence and is full of surprises.🤫🤫🤫

She can also be very funny and bubbly, says Jason 😃 😃 😃 We wish her all the best in finding the right university for her.

🎫New Supper Club: Book your ticket to Param's Kitchen! 🍴

“My name is Param, I launched supper clubs earlier this year, from a desire to share the authentic food I love cooking, in the heart of my home. Born in London, both my parents grew up in close-knit communities in East Africa. The food my parents and grandparents taught me to cook is truly unique to our Punjabi and East African heritage, and there are many cultural influences that have shaped our habits in the kitchen...from produce and flavours to cooking techniques. Cooking has always been a passion of mine, and I'm honoured to be sharing my love of food with my community."

This is Jaleesa, but we call her Leesa as that’s what she requested. So Leesa😀 😀 😀

She is only 17 and has really stepped up since she started working with us last year. She used to be very timid and quiet but that person is now gone. (in a positive way of course)

She is full of confidence and she shines on the floor and behind the bar from time to time.This is her last year of college, and we wish her lots of success with her next chapter.


Thank you Leesa for your continued hard work - we truly value you.

Elena & Jason ❤️❤️❤️

To wrap up this week, thank you for following us, sharing our content with others, and taking the time to give us a nice review that gives us more visibility.

Again, we are happy to share our love for food with you... especially Balkan food.

Have lovely weekend and hope to see you for brunch or dinner!

This is Niamh - Irish pronunciation: [ˈniːəv] meaning “bright" or “radiant”. She is definitely addictively radiant. It was her birthday last Saturday. She turned 24. Happy Birthday, Nimah from all of us. 🎉🎉🎉

She always goes above and beyond, and we love her for that. She understands how much this business relies on amazing staff and the effort they put in. Thank you for consistently bringing the best, for your reliability, and for your attention to detail. We hope to continue this journey together.

This is Freya. This is her last weekend before she goes back to University. She was with us last summer when we first opened, and she was happy to come back this summer. We definitely kept her busy.

Thank you, Freya, for all your hard work! Good luck with your last year at University. See you hopefully next year or at Christmas. 😎😎😎

This is our Kitchen Super Power - Anna, Oksana, Olena, all three from Ukraine. They’ve been with us from day 1 and still going strong. They are the most supportive and reliable crew, and we are more than grateful to have them as part of the Lacy Nook family.

Anna always has a good advice when it comes to children, as she used to be a speech therapist back home. She now runs the pass of our kitchen and finishes plates. Always with a smile on her face. Stepping into the kitchen has allowed her to discover the potential of a career shift, she says.

Oksana is energy. She never stops. She takes pride in her work, from organising the kitchen to cleaning to washing up. Everything is done with ease. She used to run her own clothing business in Ukraine. She understands small business and all the endless energy that goes into it. She is also great with children. Oksana is always there to take over Florian while I print menus in last- minute panic mode.

Olena is always calm and brings good vibes. She always says "do not worry” and she means it. We admire her for her pleasant personality. She used to be a manager of an Italian restaurant in Ukraine. She also speaks Italian. In difficult times I seek some wisdom from her. She also looks after Florian on Wednesdays and Thursdays. And my heart is full as a mother because Florian absolutely adores her.

Thank you for being part of our team ❤️❤️❤️

"What a gem! I’ve lived in Walthamstow for two years and just discovered this place. The food was delicious, the staff were friendly, and the outdoor seating/dining area is just beautiful.
