WHAT’S ON AT THE KITCHEN
January
Hook & Cook
MASTERING FISH COOKING WORKSHOP
Friday 23rd January | 6:30-9:30pm
Dive into the world of fish cookery under the guidance of our expert in-house chefs! This workshop will give any home cook the skills, confidence, and know-how to prepare and cook fresh fish beautifully at home.
You’ll get hands-on experience with two different types of sustainable fish, learning how to scale, gut, and fillet your own. We’ll be using the best local fish from across the South West - from Newlyn to Lyme Regis - so you’ll be working with incredible, responsibly sourced produce. We’ll explore a range of cooking techniques, including grilling, poaching, curing, and frying, before you put it all together to create your own two-course fish supper, sitting down together to enjoy a delicious fish supper.

Around the table
BOOK EVENT WITH BOOKHAUS
Saturday 24th January | 12:00-2:30pm
We’re thrilled to be partnering with Bookhaus for another ‘Around the Table’ event — bringing food, conversation and ideas together at Coexist Community Kitchen.
This time, we’ll be joined by historian Eleanor Barnett to discuss her fascinating new book, Leftovers: A History of Food Waste and Preservation — a richly entertaining journey through how we’ve stored, saved and valued food from Tudor kitchens to today’s sustainability challenges.
Come share a meal, meet the author, and explore what our leftovers can teach us about the past — and our future.
Tickets available via Headfirst

Pints & Plates
FOODIE EVENT
For one night only, we’re channelling our small plates, BIG ENERGY mindset for a good old-fashioned pub night! Pubs are not only home to some banging food, they’ve long been the beating heart of communities up and down the country and we think that’s something worth raising a pint to. We’ll be serving our take on traditional pub grub, with beer on tap courtesy of our friends at Bristol Beer Factory. Oh yeah, & we’ll have a pub quiz! So get your mates together, or come and make some new ones!
