Kori Sampson was seen taking selfies with new female entrepreneur, Verity, whilst new couple Niomi Smart and fitness trainer Bradley Simmonds were celebrating Clean Kitchen’s first anniversary. Meanwhile, musician and long-standing friend of Mikey, Conor Maynard, enjoyed a range of Clean Kitchen’s plant-based delights – from ‘chicken’ nuggets to Clean Kitchen’s signature Truffle Burger.
Emily Blackwell and on-and-off boyfriend, Harvey Armstrong arrived late to the party, whilst Made in Chelsea’s new girl Nicole Berry and former MIC star Eliza Batten were also seen supporting Verity at the event.

Model Georgia Jones was seen complimenting Verity and Mikey on their delicious food that was served at the event.
The event also saw the launch of Clean Kitchen’s Happy Planet boxes. The 100% carbon neutral boxes are the result of Clean Kitchen’s collaboration with My Emissions and Ecologi to offset surplus emissions.
The celebrations come after Verity Bowditch Mikey Pearce announced they have raised £1.4 million in a pre-seed round, with a £7.5m valuation, to expand the disruptive plant-based food chain, following investment from Ex-chairman of Quorn, and fitness influencer Grace Beverley. The restaurant chain was set up less than 12 months ago and they already have 5 sites in London, with plans to open up to 40 new sites across the UK.
Clean Kitchen Club is on a mission to disrupt the plant-based industry as we know it, taking fully sustainable plant-based food and carbon-neutral packaging to the mainstream. They sold over 50,000 burgers in their first year and the company is growing at a rate of 30% month-on-month.
