ABOUT US.
WHO WE ARE.
The Daisy Green Collection brings relaxed and buzzing Australian food and coffee culture to London. Through individually designed cafes and restaurants, we create iconic spaces that become local destinations and meeting points for our surrounding residents, workers and visitors.
Our food is carefully sourced and cooked in house from scratch. Menus are inspired by my childhood at home on our sheep farm and hot summers on the beach. Food combines simple fresh Mediterranean ingredients with POPs of Asian flavours and textures. There is an overriding sense of freshness, quality and simplicity.
A BRIeF TIMELINE.
The Collection was founded by Prue Freeman and Tom Onions in 2012. We started the business on the streets as a founding member of street food collective KERB with two vintage ice cream vans (Pinky Green and Wander Green) and three tricycles.
Over the last decade the business has grown organically to include an exciting mix of cafes, restaurants, secret underground gardens, canal boats and shipping containers. Each site is an adventure and a story carefully curated for its unique audience.
Throughout the lockdown, our team of volunteers baked and donated over 30,000 lamingtons and cakes for the NHS frontline workers (from St Mary’s hospital to St Thomas’s). The response was overwhelming and Radio Lamington was born to continue the love of the humble Aussie cake and support our NHS heroes (#alamingtonforalamington). We are proud to say that today, we have donated over 60 000 lamingtons (and counting) to the NHS over the course of the pandemic.
Over the lockdown, we set about telling the Daisy Green story over 100 posts. Reliving the ups and downs, challenges and huge highs of building our own independent family business. Read the Daisy Green story here.
