About Our Chef's Pick Social Campaign:

Our latest project, ‘Chef’s Pick’, has been serving up delicious behind-the-scenes glimpses into the kitchens of Croydon’s top restaurants.

Through captivating video reels, we invited viewers to experience the sights and sounds of the cooking process, showcasing the passion and creativity behind each plate.

From sizzling Indo-African platters to mouth-watering Sri-Lankan curries, our aim was to tantalize the taste buds of foodies while shining a spotlight on some of our local culinary gems.
