6 MONTHS OF 2.0

April 2026 we finally made it to our forever home. After 10 long months of pop-ups across the country we were able to move into our Jewellery Quarter base.

It’s been a season of growth and major change, but at heart we’re still the same PF that Matt and Eve dreamed up many years ago.

With Matt currently at World Class Finals, we simply couldn’t ignore the coincidental timing.

So let’s raise a toast to Matt bringing it home, and to Passing Fancies 2.0 having many more years to come 🍾

BALTI TRIANGLE

One of our guest favourite serves.
This is a Margarita style cocktail, made from Zidan’s mama’s spices.

With a customisable salted rim this serve is perfect for those who love classics with a twist and depth of flavour.

Book FANCIES to find out more about the Balti Triangle’s rich backstory.

Ahead of @worldclass Global Final in Edinburgh next week, we caught up with two-time World Class GB winner, Matt Arnold (who is always a winner in our book).

He chats to us about why he’s been on the World Class journey since 2021, what he’s learned from
the process and why this year will be his last time.

Bring it home champ! 🏆
