I guess it’s about time I introduced myself. After all, we have been open for over eight months now!
Hello, I’m Rob! I am the proud owner of Grow Kitchen.
It’s long been a dream of mine to run a funky little café one day! After running Wrap Ninjas Street Food for a few years, I felt I had the experience and confidence to make that “one day” become “now”. Well, sort of.
I didn’t feel ready, but then we often don’t feel “ready” to take those big, bold and life changing choices. Sometimes we just have to put one foot forward, lean into the uncertainty, and give things a go!
"Life begins outside your comfort zone" - a motto I heard some time ago and loved.
Anyway, a bit about me:
• I’ve been passionate about food for my whole life
• Loved cooking for others since around 15 (helping my mum out in the kitchen while she recovered from an injury)
• Music and health/wellness are two of my other big passions
• Favourite music genres: Hip Hop, Drum and Bass (I love many more types of music though!)
• I also love plants and enjoy gardening (in fact, growing some of my own food was an inspiration for the name “Grow Kitchen”
• A big chunk of my career was in office-type jobs, before I did a massive pivot into catering!
• Currently reading: Not the End of the World by Hannah Ritchie
I’ve loved bringing Grow Kitchen to life so far, and sharing our food, drinks and vibe with you all.
It has been super hard work though, and I know that’s likely to always be the case. So it’s a good job I’m a hard working and stubborn chap!
Edit: We're at 4 Queen Street in Morecambe, for those that have asked/haven't discovered us yet
