School Kitchen, located in the heart of Chiswick at the Cricket Pavilion in the Latymer Upper School Sports Grounds, offers a unique dining experience that blends culinary excellence with a strong sense of community. Opened in October 2024, this innovative restaurant, bar, and takeaway is backed by a group of renowned celebrity chefs, including Matt Tebbutt, Mitch Tonks, Nadiya Hussain, Omar Allibhoy, and Richard Corrigan. The restaurant’s mission is to support local communities, with all proceeds going towards funding free breakfasts at partner schools, making it a socially conscious as well as a gastronomic destination.
The menu at School Kitchen is a celebration of diverse culinary traditions, offering a range of dishes from different cuisines. One of the standout options is Mitch Tonks’s Fish Pie, a rich and comforting dish filled with cod, prawns, and smoked haddock, all topped with a velvety mashed potato crust. For dessert, Richard Corrigan’s Apple Pie is a crowd-pleaser, with its tangy apple filling subtly infused with Irish Whiskey and encased in a perfectly flaky pastry. School Kitchen also serves a variety of other cuisines, including Mexican, Italian, Sri Lankan, and Thai. A highlight from the Mexican menu is the Beef Barbacoa, a slow-cooked BBQ beef brisket served in a homemade tortilla bowl, complete with guacamole and tortillas.
