Founded in 2019 by Chef Tobias Godfrey and Laura Day, Fête began as a humble coffee venture in a Renault Estafette van during the pandemic. By autumn 2021, they had established a pop-up shop offering takeaway brunch, coffee, and Saturday night dinners. Their permanent location opened in 2022, quickly becoming Chelmsford's most popular independently run restaurant on TripAdvisor.
