Ethical Away Days
& Private Hire with a heart
By supporting the Hackney School of Food, you’re supporting the school food charity, Chefs in Schools, and investing in food education for the community.
Proceeds from our courses, allow us to do vital and much-needed work in school food. Chefs in Schools works with schools, in areas with high socio-economic deprivation, recruiting skilled chefs and training existing kitchen teams to produce food, made from scratch, that can hold its own in a top restaurant. The charity also delivers food education to teach children the skills they need to make good food at home, for life. From the Hackney School of Food, free community workshops are run which pass these skills onto the local community as well.
Every pound you spend with us, will make a difference.
Book an ethical team away day or a private hire course with a heart, safe in the knowledge that you’re not only going to have a great time but you’ll be supporting a great cause.
If you would also like to raise money for Chefs in Schools, please visit their website and get in touch directly. They will be glad to hear from you.
