Our Background
Power Kitchen is a gluten free restaurant which was founded by pro MMA athlete and UFC veteran Tom Blackledge and his wife, registered Nutritional Advisor Stella Blackledge Dip BNC RegNutr.
Power Kitchen’s Vision
Our vision describes the reason why our business exists. Our vision is very simple:
“GOOD FOOD FAST”
We believe that everyone is entitled to good, clean, whole, healthy food, and that fast food needn’t mean junk food.
Power Kitchen’s Mission
Our mission describes how we will achieve our vision. It is a simple overview of how our business operates, from our very first Power kitchen, to a future where we will strive to have a Power Kitchen in every community:
The Power of Healthy Choice
Our restaurant will be a clean, welcoming, healthy haven for people who want a truly healthy and nutritious choice for their meals.
The Power of Inclusion
We will offer safe, healthy choices to suit specialist dietary requirements and preferences – from diabetic to coeliac, from vegan to GAPS, we will aim to have safe sustenance to offer all people.
Power to the Earth
We will use locally sourced, responsibly farmed food that meets recognised quality standards. We will use organic produce wherever possible. We will strive to reduce, reuse and recycle, and encourage our customers to do the same.
POWER KITCHEN VALUES AND CULTURE
Our values and culture describe who we are – as a business and as people working within the business – and the environment that we operate in. Simply put, our values and culture sum up what we are all about.
The Power of Positivity
We believe that happy thoughts bring happy things. We believe that a smile beats a frown six ways ‘til Sunday. We are proud of what we do, and we want to enjoy ourselves as well as working hard in the Power Kitchen. We want most of all to welcome you into a warm and upbeat atmosphere where you can relax, breathe, eat, drink, and enjoy yourself.
The Power of Good Health
We are for great abs. We are also for great gut health, lack of brain fog, and great energy levels. We believe that truly healthy food is life changing; it gives freedom and longevity. We will always cater to good health. We will always be free from gluten and refined sugars, and we will never provide food or drink that is irrefutably proven to be detrimental to health.
The Power of Fairness
We are a business, and we expect to make a profit, both to live on and to fund the growth of Power Kitchen so everybody can access our healthy fast food. But we will always keep our prices fair – our customers will pay fair prices that reflect the quality ingredients that we use, and our expertise in producing our food and dietary advice.
The Power of Partnership
We will work with our customers directly, and with like-minded organisations in the local and national community to make our healthy food as widely available as possible. Whether at the gym, or at an event, we hope to make Power Kitchen nutrition available to you.
