""They can't eat what their friends are eating, which looks amazing, and they can't be part of that bigger picture," he said. "The food they have is safe for them but it's just boring, it's bland, it's kind of dry and it just really used to break my heart as a parent.

Ryan Panchoo developed Borough 22 Doughnuts after his two children experienced severe reactions to gluten and dairy, especially violent reactions to dairy. Borough 22 produces vegan, gluten-free and nut-free doughnuts and holds Halal and Kosher certification. The business began as a side project in October 2014 after Panchoo, who previously worked in property and started as a bricklayer, taught himself baking without formal cookery experience. The brand won awards and shipped nationwide from London, and now operates a six-week pop-up in Birmingham's Selfridges with potential for a longer stay. Panchoo perfected an allergen-friendly deep-fried doughnut after years of trial and error.
