Borough Kitchen celebrated five years since the opening of its Borough Market store in London with a party for customers and friends, business partners and suppliers, as well as members of the press last Tuesday.
Sushi chef Kiyoshi Hayamizu from Kai Japan created a sumptuous selection of sushi while Hayman’s of London mixed the perfect English Gin & Tonic for guests at the Borough Market store.
Borough Kitchen was recognised as Most Promising Newcomer in the Excellence in Housewares Awards 2015, and won the Excellence in Retail Display Award (Independent) in both 2016 and 2017. Having opened two further stores in Hampstead and Chiswick and Cook School, Borough Kitchen was the UK gia (Global Innovation Award) winner for 2016-2017 and subsequently became the UK’s youngest gia Global Honoree.
In a short speech, Borough Kitchen co-founders Justin Kowbel and David Caldana acknowledged that the first five years “hasn’t always been easy” and thanked guests for their part in “the journey.”
Several managing directors were among those applauding Borough Kitchen’s successes at the gathering: Alastair Fisher of Taylors Eye Witness, Paul Shelley of Haus, Ruth Cutter of ICTC and Roger Murphy of Eddingtons.
