Exciting Times for Home Kitchen

There are exciting times for Home Kitchen – a life changing restaurant enterprise that we here at Asociat have been helping to drive from its inception as an idea, and to its fruition as a working social impact organisation.

 

Firstly, we should tell you that Home Kitchen is having a short interlude from its mission. We’ve temporarily closed the doors to the public to do several things…

 

Firstly, we have the architects in and we’re giving the restaurant a swish new look – it will be fresh, accessible, fun and contemporary. We can’t wait to show you the plans. This comes along with vital upgrades and investments to the kitchen and an exciting change to the brand name and approach – it’s going to be big news.

 

Most exciting of all…

 

We will soon reveal a new Executive Chef and Trustee to the mission – we’re supremely confident you’ll recognise her – she’s a household name and amongst those at the top of the game in the culinary world. Right now, she’s designing a new culinary vision and a tantalising reopening menu.

 

We believe the combined impact of all these changes will be transformational…

 

  • to our restaurant and all our future restaurants…
  • to our mission…
  • and importantly, to all the vulnerable adults we seek to support back into work through the medium of catering and hospitality.

 

So, when do we open our doors again?

 

We’re aiming at December 1st, 2025. Watch this space!

What is Home Kitchen!

 

For those of you who don’t know, Home Kitchen is a world first restaurant employing, training and empowering people who are:

  • homeless,
  • or at risk of homelessness,
  • or who have lived experience of being homeless.

 

The organisation opened its first restaurant in Primrose Hill, North London in September 2024.

Purpose will be central to rebuilding brands in the society that is emerging after the pandemic. The businesses that will not just survive, but thrive, over the coming months and years will be those whose leaders embrace the notion that there is no merit in profit without purpose.
