Grace Regan is the founder and owner of the critically acclaimed SpiceBox curry house in Walthamstow.

Grace’s first street food stall was opened in 2016 in Druid St Market with the aim of bringing meat-free lunch to the masses. She earned a cult following thanks to the comforting dhals and tandoori cauli steaks. Later she joined Kerb and traded at street food markets across London and food festivals around the country.

She opened the first SpiceBox curry house in Walthamstow in Jan 2019. Her plan to pay homage to British Indian curry-house cuisine and traditional Indian home cooking in equal measure, bringing a vibrant sustainable dining option to high streets up and down the country.

Grace’s writing has been published in the Guardian and Huffington Post and she was longlisted for the BBC Food Rising Star Award. She now lives in Margate so she can swim in the sea every day. Grace is opening a second SpiceBox early next year, along with a retail range of SpiceBox products, which will be hitting shelves nationwide.

Some other good businesses.
