What Daisy Green Collection does

Daisy Green Collection, operating through its legal entity Daisy Green Food Limited, is a London-based independent hospitality group that operates a portfolio of more than 10 Australian-inspired cafés, restaurants, and bars across the UK capital. Founded in 2012 by Prue Freeman and Tom Onions as a founding member of the KERB street food collective, the business grew from vintage ice cream vans into a multi-venue group that includes neighbourhood cafés, restaurants, secret underground gardens, floating canal boats (Darcie & May Green, Peggy Jean), shipping container venues, a site within the National Portrait Gallery (Larry's), and Riverside Green in Richmond. The company monetizes through consumer F&B covers (brunch, lunch, dinner, cocktails) at all-day dining venues, private hire and events, a Shopify-based online shop selling vouchers and retail products, and a wholly-owned e-commerce sub-brand called Radio Lamington that delivers Australian lamingtons across London with an embedded NHS charity component.

The operating technology stack is intentionally commodity and non-proprietary: reservations run on ResDiary, e-commerce on Shopify, the marketing site on Squarespace, and payments on standard card-present and digital voucher rails. There is no proprietary platform, app, or AI/ML capability disclosed; competitive differentiation is delivered through physical venue design, curated art installations from artists including Sir Peter Blake and Lucy Sparrow, named premium ingredient sourcing (The Roasting Party, Clarence Court, HG Walter, Woods Food Service, Natoora, The Estate Dairy), and the brand's authentic Australian café culture narrative. Revenue streams span food and beverage sales, professional-services-style private hire and catering, and small-scale transaction-fee e-commerce, with disclosed pricing signals such as £40 per person for non-alcoholic bottomless brunch positioning the offer in the mid-premium London casual dining band. The company is privately held by its founders, has raised approximately $3.8M cumulatively through two Crowdcube rounds in 2015 and 2018, employs 101-250 people, and has published a 2025 ESG Sustainability Report formalizing environmental, social, and governance commitments alongside its commercial operations.
