The hummus and pitta chain Humpit is bringing a pop up stall to Harrogate. Farmhouse, an independent restaurant, will host the pop-up after the two owners found out they were neighbours after connecting during lockdown.

Humpit, the hummus and pitta chain, is opening a pop-up in one of Harrogate's independent restaurants this week.

Farmhouse restaurant, on Station Parade, will host Humpit's newest pop-up takeaway bar. From Thursday, August 13, the stall will open Thursday to Saturday from 11.30am to 3pm to catch the lunchtime trade.

The two business owners struck up the partnership after realising over lockdown they were neighbours. The closing of restaurants for three months was difficult for both and this pop-up has come as an opportunity to rebuild their customer bases.

Jonathan Phillips, co-owner of Humpit, said:

"Businesses need to help each other in the current economy, and we'd always wanted to come to Harrogate. We're two companies working together collaboratively to support each other which is super important right now. Currently we just have to keep going - if there is another lockdown, we just have to work through it.
"Its a real no-brainer for us. I was worried about us at some point, and at the beginning of lockdown it was nerve-wracking, but now we're ready to move forward and projects like this are exciting."




Both food outlets cater for all, but focus on vegan dishes. Humpit is currently the largest vegan chain in the UK.

Jordan Aspinall, owner of Farmhouse, hopes this venture alongside the popular Eat Out to Help Out scheme will cover the losses lockdown caused. He said:

"It just makes perfect sense. We have always been open to pop-ups like this and Jonathan just came along and it happened to work. I can't see why it would be a problem unless my sales drastically decline but I'm happy for it to keep going for as long as it can.
"We were on the edge over lockdown, so I have absolutely nothing to lose having Humpit here - I actually think it could bring trade to us."
