About The Bear Kitchen
Highlights
The best office lunch I've ever had.
Why we love this supplier
Jens and Alyssa came into our office and fed us an incredibly delicious and healthy Sri Lankan lunch. It wasn't only the tastiest office lunch I've ever had but all the ingredients are carefully sourced and designed to power your day. Their menu changes weekly too. I've never met a group of people more passionate about the power of eating good food.
