Bringing cafe culture to town
A COUPLE from Halifax are hoping their eatery will help bring some cafe culture to the town centre.
Lisa Tetlaw and Brian Clark, who live in Pye Nest, run Disco Kitchen on George Street, which opened in November
Brian spent more than 10 years working for a corporate hospitality company as chef director before being furloughed.
“I couldn’t sit around, it’s not in my nature, so I looked around at what Calderdale doesn’t have in terms of food and created an online company, set up in my garage, and if we got orders before 2pm, I guaranteed we would deliver it before 5pm as an ambient product, chilled, and it could be heated up when they wanted at their leisure,” he said.
“Within a month we were doing more than 600 units a week, and it identified to me there was an opportunity in this lovely, amazing town we all live in for an independent movement.
There’s a massive independent movement going on, craft bars opening up, microbreweries, but nothing is really happening around the town that is outside of the norm, in my opinion.
“We have five separate food identities under Disco Kitchen, including hot dogs, sourdough pizzas, artisan salads and sandwiches. But they’re interchangeable, so we’ll drop in a noodle concept later in the year, and steaks done with sauces and chips.
“I want cafe culture like you’re in the Northern Quarter in Manchester.
“We don’t take reservations, you can come in if you’ve got a million pounds in your pocket, or nothing.”
