The Salad Project

The Salad Project is a chain of salad bars across London. Florian de Chezelles met his friend and co-founder James Dare whilst studying hospitality management at university. The pair founded The Salad Project with a mission to bring healthy and quick food to customers living and working in the City. The duo launched their first site in Spitalfields Market in May 2021, and has since expanded its presence, with eight restaurants across London, including Bond Street which opened in January 2025. The company raised £1m in equity investment in 2024 to support future growth, and sales increased from £1.8m in 2022 to £9.8m in 2024.
