NFC Brewing Excellence
Hellllllllo Coffee Enthusiasts!
We've been brewing up a storm at the No Frickin Chicken Diner, and the magic isn't just in our vegan dishes. Our team recently had the pleasure of diving into the world of plant-based coffee excellence with the fabulous folks at Fire & Flow Coffee. Let's spill the coffee beans on this remarkable experience!

Importantly, they are deeply committed to ethics and sustainability, valuing transparency back to the farm, and ensuring that every step of the coffee journey honours the source.
Meet Callum: The Man Behind the Magic
Callum is the maestro behind Fire & Flow Coffee. A self-proclaimed wine connoisseur turned award-winning coffee enthusiast, Callum is not just a consultant but a visionary in the coffee industry. He's competed in the UK Barista Championships, sat on the South West Coffee Guide committee, featured in '30 under 30 to watch in the coffee industry,' and even graced BBC radio with his coffee wisdom.
In Callum's words, "Supporting new openings is being a consultant, not just on building a fantastic menu but also on what equipment you need, how to set up your space, and where to place it all for maximum efficiency." He's not just about making great coffee; he's about creating an entire coffee experience.
Barista Training Extravaganza
Meet the team of NFC Baristas - Jess, Leo and Ramona. Our team's journey with Fire & Flow wasn't just about making a good cup of coffee; it was about crafting an exceptional experience. The training programs, draw on their extensive experience of training hundreds of baristas. It's not just about technique; it's about getting the best out of the team, the equipment, and the space.
From the perfect espresso pour to the artistry of latte creations, Jess, Leo, Ramona and I (Hana) delved into the nuances of coffee making. But it wasn't just about the technicalities; it was about understanding the soul of the coffee, the story behind each bean, and the art of bringing it all together.
What's Brewing Next?
As we sip our freshly brewed knowledge, we're thrilled to announce that the No Frickin Chicken Diner is on the cusp of something monumental. The mural is set to grace our walls, the new counter is gearing up for action, and we're fixing up every inch to infuse more No Frickin Chicken-ness into the space.
The journey continues, and the aroma of success is in the air.
With love and caffeine-fuelled excitement.
