I met and interviewed Mary Barrett who is the owner of Little Fusion Kitchen, a fusion pop-up in The Jenny Lind pub, Old Town - Hastings. 

Mary bravely decided to start her own business in the middle of lockdown. As circumstances had it, she was working part-time in the pub and they realised they needed a kitchen to keep operating under the new government guidelines in Dec 2020.

5 mins later the kitchen, which was a disused staff room had been gutted and fitted out with a kitchen and Mary was operating a take-away and eat in service for customers.

I went along to try the food not long after I had interviewed Mary and to say it was exceptional would be an understatement. Mary is a talented chef and a brave business owner at a young age, definitely one to watch for the future.
