In this episode of Boom 7: Meet The Owner, host Steven Dryden-Hall sits down with Andrei Lussmann, the visionary behind Lussmann’s Sustainable Kitchen, which has recently opened its doors in Woburn.

Andrei shares his incredible journey in the hospitality industry, from his early days in boarding school, where he discovered a knack for food trading, to working with top brands like Pizza Express and TGI Fridays. He delves into the challenges and triumphs of running a fiercely independent restaurant group, the persistence required to secure his latest Woburn location, and the values that have shaped his business.

We explore Andrei’s thoughts on sustainability, value-driven dining, and the importance of building long-term customer relationships. He reflects on the evolving restaurant scene in Milton Keynes, the challenges of the hospitality industry post-2010, and the resilience needed to succeed.

Along the way, Andrei shares fascinating anecdotes, from his unexpected dinner with Raymond Blanc to his memories of running a contract catering business that was a little too generous with garlic! He also gives insights into how Lussmann’s maintains its award-winning reputation, his philosophy on customer service, and the balance between maintaining quality and expanding the brand.

If you’re a foodie, entrepreneur, or just love a great business success story, this is a must-watch!
