Episode 8 - Stephanie from Pollen and Grace

Stephanie was working in event management in 2015 when she discovered she had a series of food intolerances. She began making home-made gluten and dairy-free lunches to bring into work. Alongside her best friend Kristina they realised they could turn these lunches into a business, launching Pollen + Grace, self-funded from their home kitchen in Hammersmith.

Since then, Pollen + Grace has achieved listings at major UK retailers, including Ocado, Planet Organic, Selfridges, Harrods, Wholefoods and more. Despite this impressive growth, the business maintains its strong founding mission, which reads:

“At Pollen + Grace, we create simple, home cooked meals and snacks with natural ingredients. Think of us as ‘modern day convenience food’ - a series of both ready to eat and heatable meals and snacks made from real food, with absolutely no preservatives, fillers or enhancers - food as it should be.”
