In this episode I chat to Alex, one of the co-founders of Eastern Mediterranean brunch hotspot Brother Marcus. We talk about their journey from building a restaurant in a garden for £3000 each through to a strong brand recognised across the city and beyond. We also go through the ups and downs of the COVID era and the kind of company they want Brother Marcus to be. You can find Brother Marcus in Angel and Spitalfields, and Borough from next year.

Alex gives shout outs to the operations of JKS Restaurants and the Big Mamma Group. And he praises recent experiences at Hunan, Lina Stores, Gloria and Parrillan.
