BFFs - When Rochelle met Loretta: Margot Henderson (London)

New Zealand born Margot Henderson was set to become a New Zealand high-jump star, until she discovered punk rock. And it was that punk-rock attitude that drew her to working in kitchens and leaving our shores 33 years ago for London, where she’s forged a hugely successful culinary career.

Her much loved London eatery The Rochelle Canteen is now in its 15th year and has ascended to cult status, but she starts her days with a flat white and marmite on toast so clearly still a kiwi at heart.

Loretta welcomes Margot Henderson for a lunchtime event that will bring together their shared values of food that is unfussy, simply delicious, a little messy, and entirely enjoyable. We think Rochelle and Loretta are going to be best friends.
