Ella and Matthew Mills are opening their second food business - MaE next month

Deliciously Ella food blogger Ella Mills and her husband Matthew will open a second site under their healthy eating brand MaE next month following the success of The MaE Deli in Marylebone.

The pair have secured a site on Weighhouse Street behind Bond Street Station for MaE, which will be double the size of The MaE Deli, which opened less than a year ago in Marylebone.

MaE will open daily from 7.30am to 9pm (from 9am at weekends) serving breakfast lunch and dinner with an emphasis on plant-based salads, stews, and soups, with organic chicken and salmon offered as sides. As with The MaE Deli, all offerings will be wheat, dairy and refined sugar-free.

Mills, who opened her first permanent site following the success of her Deliciously Ella blog, said the new site would not be a replica of The MaE Deli.

"Our concept is all about sharing delicious, natural food with our customers, and showing everyone that healthy eating is about being vibrant and abundant, it’s never about deprivation," she said.

“We’ve never intended to do a big roll-out or turn our MaE sites in to a chain, but instead would like to offer different concepts and customer experiences in a handful of different sites.

"We fell in love with the space on Weighhouse Street the moment we saw it; and it’s so unique to be in such a beautiful building, on a quiet street, yet only 100 yards from Oxford Street. We’re so thrilled to now be able to share it with everyone.”
