Supper London founder Peter Georgiou
(Picture: Supper London)One evening in 2014, Peter Georgiou had a table booked at Nobu when the friend he was supposed to be dining with cancelled because he had to stay home with his kids. Georgiou, who was working as a fixed income trader at the time, joined his friend at his Chelsea home instead — “but we still wanted Nobu and thought we’d get it delivered,” he remembers. The restaurant, however, said it didn’t offer takeaway food. At that stage, you or I might have given up and ordered Domino’s.
Georgiou did not. He really, really wanted black cod. “So we managed to get Nobu for takeaway via a lot of haggling and using a cab to bring it to us. But the food arrived in a bad state — sploshed around on the cab journey, and cold. I thought, ‘This could be done better — there must be a lot more people like us who want great food delivered from amazing restaurants’.”
