The Next Slice Pizza Co

Rated 5.0 (20 reviews) in total | 27.0 miles from Chelmsford

The Next Slice began as a mission to bring authentic New York style flavours to the uk. Ever since we rebranded at the beginning of 2024 we have catered to 100s of parties, weddings, live festivals and corporate events in our brand new custom built pizza trailer which has been a huge hit with our customers! Following this success we have even opened up our first shop earlier this year! Our most popular service for private events is a pre paid buffet service which consists of 4 different pizza choices from our menu which is then constantly replenished until the full amount of pizzas has been reached. This means guests can help themselves to as much pizza as they can manage and to a variety of different toppings without having to commit to one single pizza! On the day we provide all of our own buffet tables, plates and napkins so no need to stress about providing everything.

The Proof

WE'LL BRING PUDDING. The Proof is a female-led dessert business based in Dalston, East-London. Famous for our Proofiteroles, award-winning mince pies and bold and beautiful shag cakes, we can make your pudding dreams come to life. From dessert tables, to layer cakes, to large events and corporate hospitality, we can bring pudding for your event no matter the size. Our team of skilled chefs can work with you to customise flavours and finishes from our signiature range, or we can create fully bespoke options just for you. Francesca Strange, founder of The Proof, is a self-taught cook and baker. From an Italian background, she was often found sitting at the foot of her Nonna, watching as she created incredible desserts, puddings, cakes and sweet treats. As she grew old enough to bake for herself, armed with only a Mary Berry dessert cookbook and a very sweet tooth, baking has since developed into a lifelong passion. After years gigging as a music journalist, the need to bake took over, and The Proof was born. Francesca’s puddings were legendary amongst her family and friends, and “we’ll bring pudding’ became her slogan. One order became two, became ten and before Francesca knew it she was running her own business. The puddings are made with quality ingredients, plenty of indulgence, with their own distinctive look and feel that shys away from sparkles and artificial colours. With a nod to style, but its heart in substance, The Proof delivers a twist on the puds we all know and love. It is a modern day sustainable, independent, female-led business that donates a great deal of time and energy to deserving causes.

Eat Momo

29.1 miles from Chelmsford

Momo are Nepalese bite sized dumplings, addictive and moreish because they are made with care and lots of love. We draw inspiration from our time spent making momo with family and friends at home and from our time spent eating momo at momo-pasal, available everywhere in Kathmandu Valley. Momo is a ritual prepared in every Nelapese household and available in every restaurant and hotel of Kathmandu and other parts of Nepal day and night. It can be considered one of the symbols of Nepal and an integral part of Nepalese life. Momo is a humble food that has touched the lives of everyone, not complicated, communal, inexpensive and prepared all day and night. One of the tastiest dumplings, also one of the less recognised dumplings, outside of Nepal. Our concept has come out of love and appreciation and to make momo more recognisable in London. We plan to serve momo using the best available produce cooked in the most authentic way. A well as momo we will be offering Nepali snacks, drinks and beer. We aim to popularise Nepali food, beginning with momo and more Nepali dishes in the upcoming days.

Twerk'N'Jerk

I started twerk’N’jerk in June 2020, during the first lockdown, having previously worked as a psychiatric nurse. It was a big change and the timing was a challenge but cooking has always been my passion so I had to follow my heart. I was taught to cook by my grandmother. I have such great memories of visiting her in Jamaica as a teenager – of eating this incredible, authentic food with dancehall music wafting in from the street. I’ve used these influences, as well as my own tastes, to devise my menu. I'm excited to have created something unique. There’s nothing else like what I offer out there.
