After bursting onto the London food scene with her first pop-up on Commercial Street in 2020, to her unique Nyonya-style meal kits during lockdown, and later launching a market stall in Peckham, esteemed chef Abby Lee is now taking her modern Malaysian concept, Mambow, further east.

The adventure began in 2015 with Victor Lugger and Tigrane Seydoux, two French guys passionate about Italy and its welcoming vibe. They spent 2 years travelling across the boot sourcing the best products from Emilia to Puglia.
Since then, the crew has opened 22 trattorias in 5 countries and a 4,500 sqm food market - La Felicita in Paris, France. The two latest London openings, Jacuzzi on High Street Kensington and Carlotta on Marylebone Highstreet, have some of the group’s most impressive interiors and creative menus filled with seasonal produce and classic Italian recipes.
Big Mamma work directly with 170 producers in Italy and are constantly exploring new facets of Italian cooking from pizzas to Italian meats. Each trattoria has its own vibe, and everything is homemade: from the pasta fresca, to the fluffy Neapolitan pizza, and creamy gelato. The mission of this passionate team? To offer delicious, authentic and generous Italian food at affordable prices, served with a smile.
The Culpeper Family Hospitality Group is a group of four pubs and restaurants across East and North London – The Culpeper near Spitalfields, The Buxton on Brick Lane, The Duke of Cambridge in Islington and The Green in Clerkenwell.
The group are on a simple mission to positively impact our world by using hospitality as a force for good – one day, one person, one pint, one (wine) glass, one meal, one smile, one building and rooftop at a time.

Soho and Covent Garden - these restaurants celebrate the food that originated from Kolkata. This unique cuisine was invented when the Hakka people migrated to India from the Chinese province of Canton, bringing with them their culinary treasures. Incorporating traditional Chinese cooking techniques with the spices of India to create something both new yet familiar, Indo Chinese is now an integral part of Indian cuisine.
Playfully named Fatt Pundit it’s a combination of the common Chinese surname ‘Fatt’ with the Indian word ‘Pundit’ (a scholar).
