A PUB in Audenshaw is spicing up its culinary offering by teaming up with a popular Caribbean food delivery service in Oldham.
Patrick Smith, a former chef at Harvey Nichols, set up a dark kitchen during the Covid pandemic at home, creating and selling Caribbean food.
He’s gathered over 3,000 Facebook followers since starting and, with recent changes to the delivery service provider, The Caribbean Kitchen has been in the market for a new home.
Since taking over The Snipe on Manchester Road as a business partner with Robinsons Brewery, owner Kate Mudriczki has been looking at finding a great food partner and she said this felt like too good an opportunity to miss.
“The Snipe is now a community family friendly pub and, over the last two years, we’ve been working hard to achieve this,” Kate explained.
“We’ve been working really hard to make it a community hub for everyone and food has been missing.
“We’re really excited that we’re going to be in partnership with the Caribbean Kitchen. I feel we’re both in the same stage of our businesses and, working together with Patrick, I believe we’ll be able to help each other grow to the next level.
“We’ve tried and tested the food ourselves and it’s delicious, it’s ethical and it’s homemade. Most of all, we believe our customers are going to love it, with something for everyone!”
The Caribbean Kitchen menu will be available to order online, over the phone and can be delivered, collected or enjoyed in the pub.
Having previously been a delivery service only, the new location for the Caribbean Kitchen allows people to sit down and dine out for the first time.
Kate added: “We hope that by extending our pub’s opening hours, people will visit the pub to enjoy some really great fresh home-cooked food. For the existing regulars of Patrick’s, the opportunity to travel to the pub to enjoy his food means they can still get their Caribbean fix!
“But, of course, for those who do enjoy dining in their own homes, the delivery service should reach them too!”
