CONSCIOUS COOKING. JOYFUL DINING
Apricity, on Duke Street, London is a space where my team and I work in alignment with the principles of a circular economy and I couldn't be happier with everything we've achieved in our first year of operation. Apricity was awarded a Michelin Green Star at the 2023 Michelin Awards for UK & Ireland for all its sustainable practises.
The name, meaning the warmth of sun in winter, symbolises regeneration, warmth, generosity and light, which reflects in both the space and the menu. It continues my commitment to running a socially conscious endeavour alongside my team of innovative and like-minded individuals, with whom I’m sure you’ll be very familiar with, who also share the values of a sustainable future.
We delight in creating a space that can serve delicious food and great drinks with joy, and purpose.
ROOTED IN NATURE, FOREVER CURIOUS. COMING IN 2025
Spring 2025 will see the launch of The Cordia Collective, a new culinary venture from Green Michelin starred chef Chantelle Nicholson. Located within Borde Hill - the stunningly beautiful and historic 2,300 acre estate in West Sussex - the project will bring my regenerative ethos into the English countryside for the first time.
The Cordia Collective will be dynamic and multifaceted, championing locally sourced, seasonal food, while celebrating the rich biodiversity and plant heritage of Borde Hill and respecting the restorative power of nature, making a positive impact on the planet and people. The project, much like nature itself, will continue to evolve, starting life as a bakery and Garden Cafe in Spring 2025, before developing into a glasshouse restaurant, café and workshop space in the former Stables in Autumn 2025. Featuring a beautifully restored walled kitchen garden, with produce from the estate’s biodynamic market garden, The Cordia Collective will be the true embodiment of everything I love, respect and enjoy.
PAST RESTAURANTS
HYPER-SEASONAL
COOKING IN HACKNEY
Following the devastating effects of Covid-19 on the restaurant industry, Chantelle decided to embark on a passion project to preserve jobs, livelihoods and mental health by opening a casual, pop-up neighbourhood restaurant in Hackney in October 2020. With a focus on zero-waste cooking, organic wines and friendly service, All’s Well quickly changed from pop-up to shop during further lockdowns and back to serving guests from May to the end of August.
After a fantastic time on Mare Street in Hackney, the team appeared at Pub in the Park Chiswick and Marlow and hosted some private events.
The team is still working in the background and will be back with updates in the new year with what's next.
ROOTED IN LONDON,
GLOBALLY INSPIRED
Tredwells, which was located in the vibrant heart of the West End in Covent Garden, closed its doors in September 2021 after seven years of serving sustainable, seasonal dishes that used only the very best in British produce.
Chantelle’s focus on sustainability and conscious cooking flowed through Tredwells’ offering, with locally sourced, seasonal produce at the forefront. Culinary adventures included plentiful meat and plant-based offerings, with a hint of global flavours on a variety of menu options.
Staples from the menu included roasted spiced cauliflower, the now-famous chouxnut and the salted caramel soft serve with honeycomb.
Tredwells was awarded a Green Star at the 2021 Michelin Awards for UK & Ireland recognising its efforts to uphold exemplary ethical and environmental standards.
