Caravan started with a friendship and a passion for food, creativity and hospitality. The three founders met while working in a bustling restaurant and bar in Wellington, New Zealand over 20 years ago. Chris served the drinks, Miles made the food and Laura welcomed the guests. Over many a late night and too much tequila, the idea that would become Caravan was born. Extensive travelling followed before the team landed in the UK and immersed themselves in London hospitality. Much eating, drinking and long working hours followed and the idea of combining house-roasted coffee and ‘well-travelled’ food, available all day in a relaxed informal setting, eventually crystallised. The rest, as they say, is history.
