About the employer

Here at The Pudding Pantry, we are a small, passionate team, who pride ourselves on providing you with delicious, homemade food & friendly, personal service. Owned by Anthony & Emma (that’s me) and supported by our wonderful teams, we have been serving up treats since 2014. Anthony has hospitality in his blood, growing up in a hotel ran by his parents and silver serving from the age of 10, he’s worked in hotels and restaurants since he left college. When Sherwood opened in 2018, I left my job as a teacher and came on board as (self entitled) creative director. Together with Jack, our business development manager, Luke, executive chef and Karen - our HR manager, we’ve built something we are really proud of. Luke heads our team of talented chefs and bakers, creating, testing & delivering our carefully thought out menus. Everything is homemade in our kitchens from our flavoursome beans to our fluffy marshmallows. Our brunch menu offers twists on our favourite breakfasts like eggs benedict on pancakes & the full pantry - a full English, but levelled up. Our pudding menu and cake counter brings you the taste of home baking and reminiscing over those days of licking the cake bowl clean. Our aim is to create a haven for those who enjoy good food and great coffee (and let’s not forget the tea!). Serving up good honest food, The Pudding Pantry is open to all those who get as excited by food as we do.
