Through 2020, AOB director Jonathan Dembo developed a relationship as an advisor to chef patron and traiteur, Freddy Bird, who owns and runs the Little French restaurant in Bristol, England – serving classic bistro fare with a twist – as well as being a co-venturer in a speciality pie shop.

In December 2020, the BBC aired a pre-Christmas programme (“Remarkable Places to Eat”) in which Michel Roux Jr of MasterChef and Le Gavroche fame and Fred Sirieix of Channel 4’s “First Dates” visited and raved over a meal at Little French.

Various strategic developments and growth in Freddy’s businesses are anticipated for 2021 and beyond.
