At first glance, the restaurant seems like any other on the quaint street in north London’s Primrose Hill: staff are busy preparing for a fully booked night, tables are laid and menus organised. What is different at this newly opened restaurant is that it has a Michelin-starred chef and is staffed almost entirely by people who have experienced homelessness.
“We’ve given it a new identity and a purpose,” says Adam Simmonds, the multi-award-winning chef behind Home Kitchen, which opened last week. “Without a purpose, it’s nothing, right?”
