From seed to spoon Our space
Hackney School of Food is the perfect setting to discover the joy of food, from seed to spoon.
We have three purpose-built and vibrant spaces: our learning kitchen, our garden room and our garden. Here, people of all ages and abilities can explore food from seed to spoon -growing, cooking and eating together.
Custom-fitted Our kitchen
Bright, spacious and adaptable, our learning kitchen is designed for up to 30 children or 20 adults. Complete with ten height-adjustable and fully equipped workstations and a teaching station, it’s a space to learn vital new skills, grow in confidence and develop a love of cooking.
Share goodness Our garden room
Our Garden Room is set up for workshops, community dinners, events, and team meetings. Surrounded by plants and flowers, it’s an inspiring place to come together with friends, colleagues and neighbours to connect, learn and share good food.
Supporting nature Our garden
Dig, plant, and harvest in our garden, where you’ll learn to grow food in a way that supports nature and helps provide fresh ingredients for our kitchen classes.
Our garden is designed for learning and accessibility, featuring raised beds at various heights for growing flowers, herbs, fruits, and vegetables. Explore our chicken coops and beehives and try traditional techniques for cooking in our wood oven, which bakes six pizzas at once. We also have a firepit for outdoor cooking and a dedicated kitchen garden workstation for hands-on learning.
