Case Study

Broken Eggs

From Dark Kitchen → Viral London Restaurant

Broken Eggs started as a delivery-only dark kitchen, operating solely through Deliveroo with no brand presence or digital identity.

Drool partnered with Broken Eggs to build the brand from the ground up, creating a new visual identity, website, and social presence designed to attract both locals and tourists. The result was the transformation of Broken Eggs from a small delivery kitchen into a recognised destination restaurant in London.

The Challenge

Before working with Drool, Broken Eggs had:

  • No brand identity
  • No website
  • No social media presence
  • No search visibility

The business operated purely through Deliveroo, making it difficult to build a recognisable brand or attract customers beyond delivery platforms.

The goal was to create a brand and digital presence that could turn the concept into a destination restaurant.

The Strategy

Drool helped build the Broken Eggs brand across three core areas.

Brand Identity

  • Complete brand creation
  • Visual identity inspired by Spanish food culture
  • Distinctive typography and colour palette

Website

  • Custom restaurant website
  • Mobile-first design for visitors
  • Platform to showcase the brand and menu

Digital Presence

  • Instagram and TikTok launch
  • Content designed for shareability
  • Built to attract tourists and social discovery

The Results

Since launching the brand and digital presence, Broken Eggs has experienced significant growth and recognition. Key outcomes include:

  • Physical restaurant opened in London
  • 13,000+ Instagram followers
  • Reels reaching between 3,000 and 350,000 views
  • 500+ five-star Deliveroo reviews
  • 4.8⭐ Google rating from 544 reviews
  • #1 Google ranking for "spanish tortilla london"

The restaurant has also received widespread recognition and partnerships, including:

  • Partnership with Square UK
  • Featured in Cherwell
  • Featured in Dine Awards London
  • Coverage across multiple online food and lifestyle publications

Broken Eggs is now widely recognised as a popular brunch and Spanish tortilla destination in London.
