“So last night we came 55th in the @nationalrestaurantawards,” the pair wrote on Instagram.
“If you had told me 7 years ago that the tiny little shop that me and @mary_louise_wilson somehow made look kinda like a restaurant and would be judged against the best restaurants in the Uk and found to belong,I’d have told you to move on.
“We’re both stunned and incredibly grateful to the people who have made this possible.
“Our colleagues, suppliers and customers who have stood by us when things are hard have made this possible.
