Bompas & Parr Jellymongers aim to spearhead the renaissance of English jelly. After jelly consumption in the UK tailed off in the 1990s, an Architect and his friend decided to create exceptional English jelly made from organic fruit and set up two stalls in London’s oldest and most traditional markets. From August they hope to have a stalls in Hackney’s Broadway Market and Borough Market on London’s South Bank. They also cater events, appearing at the summer garden party at the Bromley Mayoral Palace last week.
