Boroughbridge, North Yorkshire
BRIEF
Help to re-launch the deli at FINK’s official opening ceremony since they re-branded the shop. Also worked with FINK to produce a 6-course meal for their Valentine’s event.
What the client says...
When we re-launched as FINK, we were delighted when Steph kindly agreed to perform our official opening ceremony. She's been a regular ever since we opened in Boroughbridge and it's always good to catch up with her and chat about what's new on the Yorkshire food scene... just a little nerve-wracking when she asks, "I don't suppose you have...?"! Luckily, we can normally answer, “Yes” – a true test of our range.
