An all-day fast casual concept and hangout offering a range of delicious, healthy and freshly prepared food and drink

This concept hangout is a joint venture comprising of Charlie Gilkes and Duncan Stirling, of Inception Group, known for their creative and innovative ventures such as Bunga Bunga and Mr Foggs, and their wives, marketeer Anneke Gilkes and nutritional therapist, Zoe Stirling.

Each day food is freshly prepared in the on-site kitchen, with a menu which has been carefully curated by Squirrel’s Nutritionist Zoe Stirling (Lomax/ Akasha Wellbeing) and Creative Chef Consultant Dara Sutin (Jamie Oliver/ Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop). The morning menu includes poached egg breakfast pots, chunky avocado toast, as well as warming porridge pots, and organic yoghurts with numerous guilt free toppings. 

During the day, the food offering features four house salads, three hot and hearty grain bowls, two seasonal options that are also nutritionally balanced and contain a number of foraged ingredients, alongside wholesome soups and stews which change weekly. All food served is available to eat-in or take away in bespoke acorn vessels.

The in-store experience fully reflects the personality of the brand: the interior is vibrant and playful in design with a tree-lined walkway and service counter carved from a twenty-one foot long, fallen oak tree. Lights are housed in hanging acorns and U can dine in a timber clad tree-house, made from as much reclaimed wood as possible, and be seated at large picnic style tables. 

Open Monday to Friday: 7am to 9.30pm, 8am to 9.30pm on Saturday and 9 to 9.30pm on Sunday.
