About Us,
By Us.
Founded from a love of great coffee, heavy music and alternative style, Death Claw Coffee was born with one main goal in mind: To bring your favourite beverages and impeccable vibes to whatever event you’re planning!
Our Story
Death Claw Coffee was created in 2026 by our founders George & Lucy. George had a long history of working in a big chain coffee shop but always felt the corporate way of doing things wasn’t for him, and wanted more freedom to do things his own way.
Lucy was already working in the wedding and events industry as a designer under the name Submarine Studios, and between the two of them they came up with the blueprint for Death Claw.
As it says above, Death Claw Coffee was born out of a love for great coffee, heavy music, and alternative style. We wanted to stand out from the crowd of coffee vendors, whilst staying true to our values and goals, and bring great coffee to events up and down the country.
Eventually, the goal is to open our very own cafe (or two, who knows!), but for now, feel free to keep an eye on our socials to see what we’re up to and where you can find us!
Our Team
George Smith
George has been making coffee since he got his first job at the age of 16 at a high street coffee chain. A decade (and then some) later, and he’s still not found anything he enjoys doing more. Starting his own company has afforded George the opportunity to do things his own way, and find his own path in the industry.
In his spare time, you can normally find him glued to the F1 on tv, making music, or nerding out over a video game he used to play as a kid.
Founder/Head Barista
Lucy Sneddon
Lucy already works in the wedding and theatre spaces as a designer, and is also responsible for pretty much every piece of design for Death Claw Coffee. Having honed her craft at university, she’s worked on countless theatre shows across the country, and currently runs Submarine Studios, a wedding and events design company.
Lucy is a big fan of Gilmore Girls, and has watched the entire catalogue almost a dozen times!
Founder/Designer
Treat InspectorMillie
Millie is an invaluable member of the team, but demands payment in Dreamies which eats through much of our profits (literally). Affectionately known as the Fat Bastard, her favourite activities involve swatting at you as you walk past her on the stairs, or licking your ear whilst you sleep.
NOTE: Millie is now on a healthy diet, she was just very overweight when she was adopted. She is very unhappy about it and makes her displeasure well known.
Our Promise
Here at Death Claw Coffee, we always wanted to do things our own way, and a big part of that is doing our bit to be kind to the planet and all those inhabiting it. We’ve seen how it’s done by the big brands, and we know there’s a better way.
Wherever possible, we:
Use biodegradable/compostable and/or recyclable packaging.
Source ingredients responsibly.
Utilise renewable energy, and minimise consumption.
Ensuring fair labour practices.
Support small local businesses.
