It happens to many of us, when you know you have to take the challenge. Our leap of faith happened when we opened a restaurant in Suffolk to indulge our passion for food, wine and cooking. After several years we wanted a new challenge. We wanted to open a food shop where our own cooked food (the chefs work in the kitchen behind the shop) would be sold alongside products of good provenance from small producers. Many years ago when White Hart Lane was full of small shops - chippie, fishmongers, greengrocers, bakery, corner shops/dairies, not to mention the bookshop, the haberdashery and the hardware shop - these premises were occupied by a wholesale/retail butcher, so it's rather fitting that we should open our traiteur in the same premises.

We hope you can take pleasure from the foods you discover as you wander around the shop.
