We all trying to stay safe and spend as much time at home as possible right now. Grabbing a bite at our favourite restaurants or a trip to the grocery store may soon be a thing of the past or a rare occurrence, so these women-run businesses have found ways to minimise human to human contact for now and still keep their food businesses running.
Studio H listed restaurants and other food businesses who are now offering delivery and pick up services and the list is constantly growing.
‘At Studio H + FOOD XX, we want to do all we can to help support this industry we love so fiercely and so we’re compiling a list of restaurants and food businesses, run by womxn, who are staying open during this time. Some are offering reduced menus and takeaway options, others are shifting into prepared meals, but all have come up with clever ways to keep their businesses open and running and they need your support.’
Take a look at a 5 of these businesses in the Mother City.
