Backing the Next Generation of Culinary Talent

We’re all about shaking up the food scene while giving young Hackney talent a real shot. Through hands-on training in professional chef and hospitality skills, we help local young people find full-time careers and chase their culinary dreams.

Local Flavours, Next-Level Dining

Our kitchen champions the best local produce and suppliers, producing award-winning plates for lunch and dinner all week. Whether it’s an intimate dinner, a buzzing private event, or drinks in our lush garden, we’ve got the perfect spot to make it special.

Dining That Gives Back

What makes us different? Every penny of profit goes straight into supporting young people in our community. When you dine with us, you’re not just eating great food—you’re investing in the future of Hackney’s next generation.
