October Cafe is sadly now closed
Two months ago I posted a review of October Café, expressing my excitement over London having another awesome vegan business. There are plenty of vegans with small businesses out there, whether as full time caterers or part time bakers, but actually opening and running a shop is beyond their means.
Sound familiar? If you've got a vegan mini-business or sideline money-bringer-inner and want to expand further for practically no layout, read on! This is a fantastic opportunity for vegans looking to sell their cruelty free goodies in a fabulous location, alongside equally fabulous people. Contact Peter at info@octobercafe.co.uk if you have any questions or want more details.
October Café is changing and I think you might be interested in its new incarnation.
Over the coming weeks, we will be changing from a vegan tea shop to the UK's first all-vegan market - "Mass Market". This is a new and exciting development in an excellent location to attract the vegan market and also non-vegans from the many offices in Clerkenwell/Old Street who pass by every day and who already patronise the extremely popular Whitecross Street Market nearby.
Mass Market will be a vibrant and creative space created and influenced by the stallholders. Selling all-vegan foods from soups and sushi to chocolates and cakes and featuring music and special events, it will be a vehicle to give independent producers an opportunity to get involved in food retail and reach a wide market.
Who we are looking for
We are looking for individuals making their own foods with their own identity to trade within the market, designing their own pitch to reflect their brand.
Cost
The cost of a pitch is £450 per month paid in advance and there will be no more than seven pitches. If you use your stall every day this equates to about £15 per day, which is more than competitive! There is a minimum commitment of one month and at present no daily rates. We are expecting a lot of interest and there are a limited number of pitches so please get in touch as soon as possible if you are interested.
What you get
A pitch in the indoor market approximately 5 x 3 foot, a tabletop stall, inclusion on the website, marketing and promotion, public liability cover, all rent and rates included, private refuse collection, secure storage in basement wall space of pitch to personalise your stall. You will need to bring your own food ready-prepared and napkins, cutlery etc.
Hours
The market will be open Monday to Friday from 11am to 6pm and weekends from noon to 6pm.
