Peckwater Brands (PB) is a company engaged in the growing cloud kitchen/delivery business that runs virtual restaurant brands from the kitchens of existing restaurants. It argues that restaurants need to pay high street rents and staff wages no matter how many diners visit. Nearly 5,000 restaurants have closed in the UK since 2015 due to not being able to fulfil these tasks. PB aims to change this scenario. It helps restaurant partners use their existing staff and kitchen capacity better, and help keep struggling businesses running. The company received more than 10,000 customer orders through Deliveroo and Uber Eats. It witnessed more than £250,000 in customer sales since June 2020 and is spread across London, Manchester, Leeds, and Coventry. PB has launched four brands with four more in the pipeline. It will use the investment to get more partners, launch more brands, and acquire more customers.

The award-winning management team behind Flipping Good Pubs Ltd understands what it takes to flip the fortunes of a pub. In 2013 the company took a fledgling £500-a-week pub, the Old Volunteer, and in 12 months turned it into a £9,000-a-week business.
That’s partly why owners Maggie and Andrew Dunkin picked up Best Newcomer in the 2015 Great British Pub Awards. It’s also why the UK’s leading bar and pub operator Punch Taverns has backed the business to the tune of £150,000 to open a second pub, the Lord Roberts.
In addition to the £150,000 already committed, the business is seeking a supplementary £20,000 loan over 36 months. The funds will be used to invest in the bar and cellar and to ensure the investment from Punch Taverns.
Because they’ve been operating for less than two years the business isn’t eligible for a bank loan and therefore owners Maggie and Andrew Dunkin are inviting investors to help fund their latest venture.
The new pub is located near the trendy Lace Market district in Nottingham city centre – in what is considered to be a prime location.
The UK is seeing somewhat of a renaissance in craft ale drinking – fuelled by the proliferation of small specialist brewing companies, with up to 200 breweries opening in the UK each year.
Flipping Good Pubs aims to tap into the re-energised market by making its new pub a real ale specialist while at the same time creating an attractive venue and eatery that uses local produce, which is suited to all types of customers from office workers to evening socialisers.
