As well as hosting a café floor and pizzeria for customers to visit, Flourish also supplies to restaurants, hotels, and stores across London as a wholesaler. It also offers click and collect baking, including through Just Eat, Deliveroo and Uber Eats.

“This recognition reaffirms our commitment to crafting exceptional culinary delights and fostering a warm, welcoming atmosphere for our cherished community,” the general manager added.

“Thank you to the Good Food Award and to our wonderful customers for your continuous support.”

The Good Food Award prize is based on a combination of votes from members of the public, a mystery review, and the venue's delivery ratings on platforms such as Deliveroo and Uber Eats.
