Crowdfunding

Chef Joké Bakare has launched a crowdfund to re-open her West African restaurant, Chishuru, in London’s Oxford Circus.

Charlie Carr of Wingnut Wines and Matthew Scott of restaurant residency Hot 4 U have launched a £65,000 crowdfund to open Papi restaurant in London’s Hackney.

The general manager of Simpson’s Tavern in the City of London has said the future of the pub is “incredibly perilous” despite the “amazing generosity” seen in response to its crowdfund.

A crowdfund has been launched after the Barletta restaurant in Margate was struck by a “horrendous” scam which stole £50,000 from its bank accounts.
