Lucy's Ladle

Having worked in media for most of my career, the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 instigated new beginnings for me. Furloughed from my sales and marketing role in video production, I wanted to help my local community - so began donating vegetable soup to doorsteps of neighbours who were struggling with the virus.Within a few weeks a new business - Lucy’s Ladle - was born as people started to express an interest in delivery of home-cooked, healthy food. I discovered just how much I wanted to immerse myself in the world of plant-based nutrition - and began to expand my offering of soups to also include stews, curries and casseroles, as well as roasted vegetable salads. The customer base continued to grow, and my catchment area spread. Two years on and with more catering opportunities beginning to appear on the horizon, in 2022 I took the decision to move into food full-time. Running ‘healthy tips & tricks’ cooking workshops from my home kitchen in Surrey has now become an integral part of my portfolio, as well as catering residential yoga retreats and wellbeing events in the UK and abroad. My aim is simply to nourish people and inspire them to eat more healthily by proving that conscious eating doesn’t have to be complicated or costly…. And is certainly always very tasty!
