Home Kitchen in Primrose Hill was opened in the autumn of 2024 to help socially vulnerable transform their lives by providing employment. In the year that it operated under Executive Chef Adam Simmonds, the restaurant employed 16 individuals affected by homelessness. Now the social enterprise is getting a new lease of life as the space flips into 130 Primrose, with Monica Galetti stepping into the Exec Chef role and Head Chef Eric Zhang leading the kitchen. Like its previous incarnation, 130 Primrose will recruit people with experience of homelessness, offer them paid work, accredited training, and opportunities to progress further in the hospitality industry. The 50-cover restaurant will be open all day, all week, serving a Mediterranean-inspired menu, with salads and sandwiches also available at lunchtimes, and charcuterie and cheese on offer in the evenings.
