STAND AND DELIVEROO Deliveroo, the on-demand restaurant food delivery service, celebrates its first birthday in Cardiff Since its launch in the city last year, more than 66 restaurants have signed up to Deliveroo, with the creation of more than 80 jobs. “We’ve had a fantastic first year, and the service has been incredibly well-received by local foodies,” said Jeremy Rawlinson, general manager at Deliveroo. “We’ve served thousands of local customers and we’re looking forward to continuing to bring delicious dishes straight from the hands of Cardiff’s chefs to customers’ doors. And we already have a number of fantastic partners across the city, with some exciting expansion plans in the pipeline to widen the variety of restaurants on offer.”

Dusty Knuckle Pizza in Canton has moved its courtyard to larger premises Dusty Knuckle, one of Cardiff’s homegrown food pop-ups, has moved to larger premises at The PrintHaus arts collective in Canton. The new site, which also houses 15 resident artists, has enough seating for 50-60 customers, including a large outdoor urban courtyard where guests can happily chomp on their pizzas undercover. “We never expected to move premises so quickly after launching the restaurant, but we were having to turn customers away
because we were so stretched for space,” said Dusty Knuckle founder Phill Lewis. “The PrintHaus is a really natural fit for us, as it’s a great urban space with a similar ethos. It already grows its own produce, so our identity will still very much be that of an edible courtyard, and the larger outdoor space allows us to seat a lot more customers than we could before.” For more: dustyknucklepizza.co.uk, @dusty_knuckle

FOOD SOS! New café is helping diners ‘eat themselves healthy’ SOS Kitchen, specialising in providing customers with healthy and nutritious food, has opened off Lamby Way in SOS Kitchen’s consultant chef Cardiff, headed John Quill, with co-owners Rebecca up by consultant Edwards and Sam O’Sullivan chef and Paleo nutrition specialist John Quill, who has catered for Olympic athletes, Paralympians and New Zealand’s legendary All Blacks. Part of fitness facility SOS Athletic Excellence, the brainchild of Rebecca Edwards, Sam O’Sullivan and Gavin Attore, the café offers
a breakfast and lunch menu to help diners reach their fitness goals, with high protein, calorie-controlled dishes made from locally sourced, high quality food. All dishes are labelled with calorie content and a full macronutrient breakdown, allowing diners to make informed choices about what they eat. The café will also offer a food prep service for those who struggle to find time to cook from scratch. “You can’t out-train a bad diet, so SOS Kitchen will provide diners with healthy breakfast and lunch options, so they can eat out without undoing all of their good work at the gym,” said Rebecca Edwards. “All of our dishes here are natural and as close to mother nature as possible, with all diets catered for including vegetarian, vegan and coeliac. Of course, we also offer more traditional café fare to those who want it. But we hope that when people see the quality of our freshly cooked, healthy meals, they will plump for those every time.” For more: soskitchen.co.uk
