About this activity
Itinerary

As a city, London offers some of the most exceptional culinary experiences anywhere in the world. However, the best experiences are often found off the well-beaten path in local areas.

Eleven98

Experience pop-up dining with a difference at Eleven98, the brainchild of local chef Aidan Brooks, who welcomes you into his home for a unique two-course culinary experience. Having previously worked in Barcelona and Valencia, Aidan returned home to London several years ago and was part of the team at East London's first-ever Michelin-starred restaurant.

Eleven98 was set up as one man's tribute to his local area - Hackney - to celebrate the area's growth and progression over the years. Uniquely to Eleven98, all the ingredients are sourced locally, using local allotments for vegetables, independent butchers and fishmongers, artisanal bakeries and even honey cultivated by family friends.
