HOP Vietnamese is THE go to place for Vietnamese-inspired dishes bursting with bold flavours. Leading the way in food tech, customer orders are placed using a slick, digital interface allowing customers to customise their dish exactly how they like it. HOP is working hard to brush up the green credentials including working toward carbon neutrality and creating a menu with the goal of 50% of dishes being plant based. This is fun food without compromise, helping to build a positive world around us.

Jam Industries is a British lifestyle and clothing brand designed to bridge the gap between city and coastal style. We are two brothers Andrew and Mark - comprising the ‘A’ and ‘M’ in ‘Jam with our surname Jordan ‘J’. Family is the heart of everything we do. Our Mum (the original beach bum) not only inspired our journey but was the first person to join our team, and will always be an integral part of our lives and our business. We live for the days that bring us together, floating from the city to the surf and back again. Family days at the beach and time-off with friends inspire our memory led collections, and our future store locations. If its not fun we simply won’t do it! When we started in 2013, we just wanted to make comfy clothes we could pack into a weekend bag. Cosy clothes to style our way from a lazy afternoon at the beach, to a vibrant bar by night… anywhere. As our brand has slowly grown we have developed a passion for our garments; delivering luxury, sustainable, products, at affordable prices. We believe in fair pricing, and as such, you will never see garments on sale in a Jam store, because our price point is always the best we can affordably achieve. We now have five stores marking some of our favourite spots from London to the places we get to call home along the South West coastline! We hope you find them places not only to shop but also to connect with us and to share in what we love doing and when we are doing it.

Guzman y Gomez was named to honour old friends. We founded GYG to share our love of all things Latin: the food, the music, the art, and the warm sense of community. That’s why we like to get actively involved with our local communities, and some further away from home to spread the GYG spirit.
