Can This Work? 🍕
Well… YES. We think it can! 😂🍕
Last night was our first proper night of getting Cheesy Monkey out there — not quite an official opening, more of a “let’s see if this mad idea actually works” night.
We were incredibly lucky to be offered a spot at The Gamekeeper in Scotter, (huge thanks to Tony and his staff) and what happened from the moment we opened the hatch was honestly amazing.
Friends, family and pub customers came along, bought pizzas, gave us loads of encouragement and, most importantly, ate the pizzas! 😂
From 8pm until 10.30pm we didn't stop cooking. The oven was running, orders were coming in and I was scratching away making pizzas as fast as I could.
A massive thank you to Crystal 💓 and Matilda ❤️, who were the faces of Cheesy Monkey last night while I disappeared behind the hatch and concentrated on making and cooking the pizzas. ❤️ And a big thanks to Emilia 🩵for not only buying pizzas but creating the fab pics you see here. (More to come soon)
We learnt loads. There are things we'll tweak, things we'll improve and definitely a few things we'll do differently next time. That's exactly what last night was about.
But the biggest takeaway?
It works. And we absolutely loved it.
A HUGE thank you to everyone who came down, bought a pizza, tried our food, complimented the trailer, asked questions, or simply stopped to tell us that we were doing a good job.
Every single bit of encouragement meant a lot.
This little idea that started with “I wonder if we could…” suddenly felt very real last night.
So… Cheesy Monkey is officially on its way. 🐒🍕
Thank you. ❤️
