Episode four - Trap Kitchen and Greedy Khao

This week Fred meets the teams behind two new food concepts looking for big investment - Trap Kitchen, a soul-food inspired takeaway from South London selling lobster tails and waffles, and Greedy Khao, a vegan Thai, grab-and-go concept.

Trap Kitchen is seeking £500,000 to become the next Nando’s.

Dreamt up a year ago by 27 year-old Prince, pictured, from his mum’s council flat in South London, it’s become a social media sensation, amassing 43,000 Instagram followers. Open on three evenings a week, Prince’s customers park outside his block of flats, place an order for one of three meal-boxes, and wait for their food to be delivered. His Baller’s Combo box costs £20 for spiced lobster tails, prawns, chicken, mac ‘n cheese and a Belgian waffle. He currently turns over 200 meals a night and takes around £10,000 a week.

Two investors are interested in Trap Kitchen, David Page and Scott Collins.

Greedy Khao has run as a successful food stall for six months, selling vegan versions of classic Thai dishes using meat substitutes like Tofu, Seitan and Jackfruit.

Established by husband and wife team Lee and Faai, the food is based on Faai’s family cooking in Bangkok. Their goal is to take a slice of the grab-and-go lunch market from brands like Leon and Wasabi - and they are looking for £225,000 for a 25 percent share.

Investor Chris Miller is interested in Greedy Khao.
