Apricity
Celebrating growers and farmers in the UK
Chantelle Nicholson is a multi-award-winning chef and author of the book Planted. Her menu at Apricity is creative and focuses on seasonal ingredients, preferably plant-based from small-scale, local producers. When it comes to employees and colleagues, the restaurant is ahead of many others in the industry. Apricity has a pathos that feels genuine and urgent. It’s about treating people better and establishing an environment that encourages transparent communication — open discussions creating the type of workplace that challenges everyone yet empowers individuals with the autonomy to learn independently.
