Roswell has no shortage of creativity and heart, and at the center of one of its most delicious ventures is Helen Greenaway, founder of Boxed Bites 2 Go. Known for her beautifully curated charcuterie, English Afternoon Tea, and custom appetizer catering, Helen has transformed her love of food and connection into an experience that feels both elegant and deeply personal.
From Passion to Purpose
Boxed Bites 2 Go was born from a perfect blend of passion and perspective. During lockdown, Helen found herself re-evaluating life, work, and what truly matters. Combined with a family medical diagnosis and her lifelong love of food and nutrition, she was inspired to create something meaningful. “I wanted to design experiences that bring people together,” she explains, “something that feels nourishing, intentional, and beautiful.”
What started as an idea quickly became a thriving business that now serves gatherings all over the Roswell area. Every box, platter, and Afternoon Tea is a reflection of Helen’s care and artistry, showcasing her belief that food connects us not only to each other but to joy itself.
An Artful Experience
Helen describes her business as “a bespoke grazing and catering experience where artistry, flavor, and elegance come together in every detail.” And that couldn’t be truer. Each offering from Boxed Bites 2 Go feels like a celebration of color, texture, and taste. Her signature Afternoon Tea experience is a local favorite, complete with delicate bites, freshly baked treats, and seasonal ingredients that invite guests to slow down and savor.
“It’s more than just tea,” Helen shares. “It’s a moment to pause, indulge, and connect. I want people to walk away feeling restored and inspired.”
Rooted in Community
Boxed Bites 2 Go stands out not just for its style and flavor but for its strong community connection. Helen often sources local ingredients and collaborates with nearby businesses, creating a web of support that strengthens Roswell’s small business ecosystem. “Each platter we design is inspired by the people and stories that make this community special,” she says.
That sense of collaboration extends beyond her kitchen. Whether contributing to local events, donating to community causes, or simply celebrating other women in business, Helen believes in showing up. “What I love most about Roswell is how people truly support one another. It feels like being part of something bigger than yourself.”
Entrepreneurial Journey
Helen comes from a long line of entrepreneurs, and that legacy shines through in her drive and creativity. “My parents and grandparents instilled in me a love of hard work and independence,” she explains. “Building something of my own felt like a natural next step.”
Of course, the path hasn’t been without challenges. As her business grew quickly, maintaining quality and consistency became her biggest focus. “I had to refine everything, processes, sourcing, and presentation, to ensure that every platter met my vision.” That attention to detail paid off, allowing Boxed Bites 2 Go to flourish while staying true to its high standards of quality and care.
When asked what she wishes she’d known earlier, Helen smiles. “That you can’t do it all yourself. Delegating, asking for help, and trusting a team isn’t weakness, it’s how you grow with integrity.”
Balancing Motherhood and Entrepreneurship
Motherhood has shaped Helen’s approach to business in subtle yet powerful ways. “It’s taught me patience, intentionality, and the value of slowing down,” she says. “Those same lessons show up in my work, where every detail is purposeful and thoughtful.”
Balancing work and family life means embracing small moments of joy: morning coffee rituals, spontaneous family trips, and simply celebrating the little things. “Traveling together helps us disconnect and reset,” she shares. “It’s how we stay grounded.”
Her advice to other moms dreaming of starting a business is simple but profound: “Trust yourself and your instincts. Start small if you need to. Your perspective and life experience are your superpowers.”
A Taste of Home, A Touch of Europe
Helen’s English roots bring authenticity and charm to her work. When asked what inspired the style and flavors of Boxed Bites 2 Go, she smiles. “I’m English, so all my Afternoon Tea recipes are authentic. Many of our cheeses and flavor profiles are European, too.” It’s this blend of tradition and artistry that gives her platters their unmistakable character, a fusion of comfort, craftsmanship, and culture.
Helen also takes pride in spotlighting other local women she admires, including Jessica Otieno of Many Paths Wellness, who she describes as “kind-hearted and always doing so much for others.”
Where to Find Boxed Bites 2 Go
For Helen, success today looks like creating experiences that bring people together while maintaining the care, quality, and community connection that shaped her business from the start. “It’s not just about growth,” she says. “It’s about meaning.”
