Firmly bedded in at Foundry Lane Studios (a series of spaces for creatives and artists), chef and food writer Anna Hedworth’s Cook House continues to grow by leaps and bounds. Spread over two floors, the premises now includes a deli and dining terrace, plus a little garden which supplies herbs for their growing list of soft drinks; there are also plans to keep bees on the roof. It also ticks all the ‘community’ boxes when it comes to local support, education and events. Anna has drafted in a team of chefs to run the kitchen (and the BBQ), while the expanded menu is a rolling roster of ‘outrageously good’ dishes inspired by British produce and the world larder.

Anna has drafted in a team of chefs to run the kitchen (and the BBQ), while the expanded menu is a rolling roster of ‘outrageously good’ dishes inspired by British produce and the world larder. Any modern eatery worth its smoked salt must have kimchi on its menu (preferably made in-house) and this place is no exception. Otherwise, breakfast/brunch at the weekend means house granola, hash browns with hot aïoli, green harissa fried eggs on toast and other trendy nibbles, while lunch and dinner could usher a roster of creative ideas ranging from parsnip mousse with curried granola, pickled parsnip and some crispy chicken skin for texture to whole smoked mackerel with smoked salsify, lime yoghurt and orange hot sauce.

There are also sticky, treacly slow-roast short ribs with cheesy polenta and plum ketchup for sharing, plus some tempting desserts including dark chocolate mousse with blackberries and honeycomb or toasted barley ice cream with miso caramel. World beers, kombucha and spritzes suit the on-trend minimalist setting, and there are plenty of intriguing, fashionable wines too.
