Happy New Year one and all 🌟
We’re just after having a cuppa tea and a bacon sandwich this morning and let us tell you it was pure bliss 😋
2024 - Let’s be having you! We can’t wait to put our plans in place for this year at byMölly with big moves on the horizon 👀
We’d like to dedicate this post to a very very very special lady who we have had the pleasure of meeting while on our byMölly journey - Justine 💚
Justine has been a great business mentor to us both as well as a very special friend who’s always dedicated her time , love and precious advice to us both.
Many of you might also know that a few months ago we outgrew our home with byMölly and Justine so kindly allowed us to move byMölly’s kitchen HQ from our home to the commercial kitchen upstairs Salute At The White Swan - where we prepare all of our delicious food before heading to our events. We absolutely love it there and Justine has allowed us to make it the byMölly kitchen HQ home.
Big thank you Justine - thank you for all you do for us - you’re certainly a credit to everything you know and we count ourselves so very lucky to be so close to you and call you our friend (even when you’re on the phone and I run in to annoy you sometimes to taste test 😂) 💚
Happy New year Everyone ,
Molly & Charlotte 😁
As 2023 draws to a close, it’s time for us both to reflect, recharge and regroup for 2024.
It’s been an incredibly amazing year, and truth be told as many small businesses can probably agree a tough year for all of us as business owners but we’re honoured to say we came out on top and grew in every way.
In 2024 we’ve huge plans for byMölly - We want to continue to grow, adapt and be the best that WE can be as people, and a Private chef & mixologist bar business - because that’s all we can do - be the best that we can be each day.
A huge part of byMölly, which we keep as transparent as possible to you all on our journey with us, is that we put our absolute everything into anything we turn our hand to, because to us that’s the only way to show the most respect to all that we do.
We don’t claim to be anything other than what we are - two girls from Leeds, in business, learning each day, wanting to build our own future and work hard.
No one ever really knows what’s to come in the future, we certainly don’t. Curveballs come often, and being at the fore front of an incredible business is an honour - as well as sometimes a challenge.
Be kind. Be humble. Look after our own - whether it be our family, a new customer or a stranger we’ve never met who wishes us well. Most importantly enjoy the ride, even the nitty gritty hard bits. It’s all part of the byMölly journey after all.
To our family who are at the end of the phone when business struggles have arisen, thank you - we love you and appreciate all you do.
To all of our followers who’s supported us from the beginning to now, we’re so unbelievably very proud to have you all with us on this journey, even if we’ve never met you yet, we hope that the words above reflect positively on who we are.
We’re signing off for a few days and going to have some well deserved us time with our nearest and dearest, all our love and appreciation always,
We’re proper buzzing, Leeds’ll be rocking girls, Molly & Charlotte 💚

We’re officially half way through this weeks bookings! 💫💫
It’s times like this we truly realise how grateful we are to have a diary that’s so busy. As many of you know, it’s just me and Charlotte that run byMölly as well as casual staff that come to our bigger events and to say we’re busy is an honour within itself and to see all the hard work and graft we put in behind the scenes come together to offer the finest, highest byMölly experience is nothing less than what we’d expect from ourselves.
Since MasterChef the Pro’s aired, we’ve had so many people enquire which is absolutely incredible within itself - and for that we are so truly grateful to the series and to everyone who watched. To see our small business blossom, be viewed, recognised and taken to so well on national television is something we’ll be forever in owe of.
This is an appreciation post to all of you who support us, follow us, share our business with others and of course who book us. From £1.50 sticks of wild garlic butter in the first ever lockdown to having a packed diary seeing us through to 2024. We can’t ever put into words how grateful we are for you all to allow us to do what we adore doing each day.
Thank you - We’re proper buzzing all the time 😉

🥔 Produce spotlight: the humble potato 🥔
Our wonderful country produces some incredible ingredients that really shine through, take truffles, wild garlic and rhubarb for example.
Nothing quite has the versatility and satisfaction of a really great potato - whether your side dish is classic French, British, Irish, American, you name it, there's so many variations were sometimes spoilt for choice!
✨ Dauphinoise
✨ Pomme Anne
✨ Roasties
✨ Rosti
✨ Mashed potato
✨ Pressed potato
✨ Champ
✨ Fondants
We could go on and on!
When creating menus for our private dining experiences, no part of any dish is not carefully considered, down to the potato choice.
Some dishes and menus need that element of crispy, some need luxury, some need a good staple.
Nothing is more sturdy and respected than the potato. A questions we get asked a lot is our favourite meals, or what we eat at home - the answer is quote simple, whatever we can knock up easily after a hard day at work. Meaning potatoes are almost always on the menu at our house.
As always a big shout to one of our wonderful suppliers 💚
