Martyn has been a chef for over 15 years working in a lot of different areas in the food industry from restaurants to large scale event catering. He found his way into recipe development for Joe Wicks (The Body Coach) and worked in a cookery school teaching for over 5 years, alongside doing a degree in photography.

After setting up Lagom Chef in November 2019 as an online sustainable meal plan company fighting food waste, things didn't work out quite as planned (pandemic!), he shifted his focus on educating people about food waste and having fun with cooking. He now has an audience of over 1 million across platforms, gaining traction through his energetic fun content that aims to teach, inspire and break down the barriers that assume solving food waste and eating delicious food is complicated and expensive.

A self-titled "Food Waste Disruptor" who is raising awareness to a whole new audience and demographic, carving out his niche in the food waste scene. From having success with his light hearted approach he has worked with brands such as Canon, Sainsburys, Ocado, Sony Music, TikTok, WRAP and Oddbox on major brand campaigns.

Ruby Hughes born in London, started Sshepaints in an effort for us to connect during the Pandemic. Painting memories of Aperols and pizza in the sun, to cups of coffee and afternoon chatter. They were love notes of what we used to have. Often posting them straight to the customers friend or family member. 'I felt like cupid'. Fast forward to now she is still painting our memories of pasta sauce, glasses of wine and the beauty in everyday life. The ethos behind Sshepaints is - 'Anyone can paint'. The uneven, wonky quality of Ruby's pieces invites you to feel inspired, and either want to grab a paintbrush or go and sit in a wine bar.'

I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Luke Hemsley, founder of Wednesday's Domaine, for this week’s episode of Tables to Talk About. Luke’s story is one I’ve admired for a while – an entrepreneur with a passion for creating not just a product, but a full-on experience. He noticed the rise of alcohol-free options in beer and spirits but realised wine drinkers were left wanting more. Enter Wednesday’s Domaine: a beautifully branded, alcohol-free wine that’s perfect for those midweek moments when you want to unwind without the buzz. This is Luke’s first venture into the drinks world, but he’s no stranger to startups. We chatted all about the ups and downs of building something from scratch, and his dedication to delivering something truly special for his customers, plus his dream dinner party, of course!
