What our clients say:
Egg Soldiers have been an invaluable partner in shaping our food philosophy, style, and operations since our early days. With Elan Cafe's rapid growth and internal team development, we have gained confidence in our operations. However, we know we can always count on Egg Soldiers as trusted friends for support.
Their guidance has been instrumental in our journey, and we are grateful for their ongoing partnership.
Dan Booth
Head of Global F&B & Development - EL&N LONDON
Côte is going through an exciting period of change, with our food ID and strategy crucial to the journey.
As such, we decided to find a dynamic, highly-experienced food development agency with a unique approach to support us in its creation, and Egg Soldiers was more than up to the task.
The team showed remarkable attention to detail and a passion for the creative throughout. They guided us through every step with confidence and care, co-creating with our food team and delivering outstanding results that perfectly align with our food philosophy, both for now and for the future.
Toph and Stefan are both genuine experts, and I highly recommend them and their (Egg) Soldiers.
Steve Allen
Executive Chef - Côte Restaurants
Loungers undertook one of its largest and most ambitious projects ever and called on Stefan to help. The 'resetting' of our kitchens in terms of process, kit and standards was a mammoth task and challenged a lot of our existing ways of working. The guidance, teaching and implementation was carefully curated and delivered; the results were game changing.
Loungers simply wouldn't be the business it is today without the huge Back of House transformational project, that Stefan was integral to. Also, a top chap to work with.
Jake Bishop
Co-Founder - Loungers
Leading the launch of Ole & Steen (Lagkagehuset) into the UK, I was looking for a strong food team to create and define a new food offer that complimented the high quality of our Danish baked goods. Egg Soldiers were the standouts with their non compromising approach to quality, staff training and their out of the box creativity whilst having a clear commercial eye on how we could be fresh, new and truly stand out in the London food scene. Top operators, couldn't recommend them highly enough.
Alastair Gordon
Operations Director - Ole & Steen
Working with Egg Soldiers has really helped us to think differently about our offer, the team immersed themselves into our brand and sought out the latest food trends and techniques that worked for our business. It absolutely isn't a one size fits all approach. The experience is a collaborative one and we have really enjoyed the relationship that has formed working on our last two menu projects.
Jenny McPhee
Brand Director – The Alchemist
Egg Soldiers delivered fresh insights and challenger thinking that propelled our business. Their recommendations on operational improvements, menu layouts, and food offerings led to a 12.5% increase in ATV and an impressive 8% growth in like-for-like sales.
Dan Levy
Managing Director - Eat A Pitta
We approached Egg Soldiers with a huge operational problem to solve. They very quickly developed a thorough understanding of our business and presented us with a game changing solution that has allowed us to continue to exceed customer expectations!

The Egg Soldiers team have been a valuable asset to our pub kitchens, their expertise has allowed us to revamp our layouts and operations, resulting in increased efficiencies and streamlined processes.
Thanks to their guidance we're able to serve our guests faster, even on our busiest days, we have been extremely happy with the positive results.
Lewis Allington
Head of Food - St Austell Brewery
Egg Soldiers team very quickly grasped the concept of our fast food brand Kumpi and helped us to build our unique menu. We really appreciate for their professionalism and fast turn-around. Their work is great quality and was a pleasure to work with such a talented group of people.
Onur Guvenc

The team worked alongside us to build and research the key trends for our internal food and drink trend report, they have an incredible ability to spot emerging trends and tailor them to the So What for putting products on the shelf.
Lizzie Conlon
Innovations Manager - Waitrose & Partners
Egg Soldiers were quick to understand our brief and vision in the new industry of cultivated meat, and helped us with our product development to quickly create a delicious end product. The level of quality, care and professionalism was highly appreciated, and we were extremely happy with the end product. The training and handover was also excellent, providing utmost confidence to our in house chef.
We would highly recommend the Egg Soldiers team, and would definitely work with them again.
Russ Tucker
Co-Founder - Ivy Farm Technologies
The Egg Soldiers team has been a game-changer for our business. Their strategic guidance helped us rethink our food and drink offer, in-store marketing, and customer journey model. Implementing their recommendations has resulted in improved sales, site performance, and set us on a scalable business journey. Their tailored solutions and attention to detail are impressive. Highly recommended!
Anu Kathuria
Owner - Pali Kitchen
Egg Soldiers brought my food vision to life at Demitasse. As a first-time business owner opening our first site, their attentive and supportive team helped us develop our food menu, kitchen design, recipes, and team training. I highly recommend them to anyone launching a new concept and seeking the best.
Elizabeta Abdulla
Owner - Demitasse
Egg Soldiers was instrumental in helping us create our food and drink identities, menus, and recipes from scratch as a startup. Their innovative and creative approach allowed them to think outside the box, resulting in unique and delicious dishes that have helped establish us as a leading brand in the vegan and Ayurvedic-inspired food industry. Their expertise in crafting creative solutions has been invaluable in propelling our brand forward.
Ray Duhaney
Founder - VEKITCHEN
Egg Soldiers' development process was comprehensive and engaging, with the team's diverse set of skills invaluable assets for us during what was an important project.
We tasked them with an evolution of our Café's food offer, one that would both appeal to a new audience and excite our existing customers, and the team created innovative solutions for modernising dishes while celebrating core Morrisons food values and product.
Egg Soldier's hands-on support for our food team throughout the project further highlighted their operational expertise and hospitality knowledge.
Our initial plan was to gradually roll out the new menu over time, but we had such confidence with the new offer that we decided on a full rollout across our estate.
It was a pleasure to work with them, and the feedback from our customers has been really positive since launch – we've seen an uptick in café engagement across demographics and increases across all key performance indicators.
