Kerb announces two new traders at the National Theatre
Bad Boy Pizza Society and Mumbai Mix will help Kerb build on its recent success from the launch of Lucky’s Hot Chicken Launch at the National Theatre last year
London-based food market operator, Kerb, has revealed that Bad Boy Pizza Society and Mumbai Mix are joining Lucky’s Hot Chicken at the National Theatre this autumn.
It is reported that the two new traders will help Kerb build on its recent success, which is said to have been underpinned by Lucky’s Hot Chicken launch at the National Theatre last year.
In addition, Kerb is also the supplier of the theatre bar, The Understudy, with Gipsy Hill beers, guest ales, cocktails and spirits from East London Liquor Co, as well as wine and soft drinks from Square Roots Soda.
Kern has operated at The Understudy since September 2021 in an extended partnership with the National Theatre to operate the venue’s food and drink operations.
Ben Cook, founder of Lucky’s, said: “We’re extremely proud to be staying on at The Understudy with Kerb. To be involved in such an iconic London venue has been a privilege and the National Theatre has become our spiritual home. We’re super excited to build upon the success of last year and keep the South Bank spicy!”
A spokesperson for Bad Boy Pizza Society said: “We are super proud to be launching not only our third location, but our third pizza concept at the iconic National Theatre. With our knowledge from our recent New York research trip, we will be the first pizzeria bringing the Sicilian-style pizza to London, with a bunch of crazy flavours.
“This is our second location with KERB, who have always pushed us to keep experimenting and having fun with new ideas.”
A spokesperson for Mumbai Mix said: “The location of the National Theatre exposes us to a global audience which resembles the international influences of our dishes. Our food brings in our Indian and Kenyan cultures, stories of our upbringing in our small Kenyan town.
“Our connection with British farmers and the growing seasons, in a menu that encompasses the dishes that have been eaten in India for centuries alongside those that are devoured today in the streets of Bombay.”
