SP: I truly have found a home at Crestwood Curling Club. Knosh has been made to feel welcome and we have been given a great opportunity to be able to expand while at the club. We still offer catering services in the non-curling months, but we are also are now able to offer traditional afternoon teas, fish and chips nights and full English breakfast and brunch on Saturdays. The Crestwood Curling Club is open
to the public to come any time, so I encourage people to come check out the club and grab a bit to eat. The upstairs lounge area is totally family friendly, children are welcome and they have a great selection of local craft beers on tap. We also are providing fresh baked scones and pies to Mandolin book store. Knosh is a family owned and operated business.
RR: Can I please get a brief background on how you started cooking and how
Knosh came to be?
SP: I have always loved to cooked, feeding people is one of my biggest joys. I started professional by fluke. I had just been laid off from my Nursing attendant position with The Good Samaritan and a friend recommended me for a job at a catering company. I got the job there and worked there for 10 years, I learned so much it was great but decided to take some time off to be with family. That did not last
long as I saw an ad for a food truck for sale, something I had been thinking about for a while. So I bought the truck and Knosh Catering was born. I have not looked back. Loved every day working on the truck and meeting some amazing people that I still keep in contact with. The Food Truck owners are a tight knit family that help and support each other. After four seasons I decided to sell the truck and was invited to move into Crestwood Curling Club which has given us the ability to expand our menu and offer special events such as Afternoon Tea and Fish and chip nights.
Traditional British food is hard to find in Edmonton. I hear rumours that the traditional British fish and chip nights featuring "Effing Seafood" cod, mushy peas and the works, will be taking place the third week in October. The afternoon teas will continue as well after September. Keep your eyes on the Facebook page for the event listings.
