A word about the experience


Michelin-trained Chef Aidan Brooks, creator of Eleven98 invites you to experience his Chef's Table concept: an innovative and sustainable fine dining tasting menu served in the gorgeous dining room at our secret Hackney location.
N.B. - From our relaunch date on Saturday 17th April until Saturday 15th May, the menu will be served al fresco in our private garden, with an arrival time of 2pm. This is in accordance with the government's rules on outdoor dining. From Friday 21st May, we'll be moving back indoors for our regular 7pm slot.

What to expect :

• An innovative, sustainable 7-course tasting menu
• Welcome cocktail on arrival
• Guests are welcome to BYOB
• In the heart of Hackney, East London's most sought-after borough
• Up to 6 guests around one communal table (while the rule of 6 applies. Our regular capacity is 12 guests)
• Host offers both private and open events
• Former Head Chef at the critically acclaimed Vanilla Black Restaurant

Eleven98's social dining at The Chef's Table begins with a quirky cocktail on arrival, allowing folks time to gather and mingle. Then everyone will take a pew, sit back and delve into a sequence of seven carefully curated tasting courses, based entirely on Hackney-sourced produce. Everything on Eleven98's menus comes from Hackney, the borough in which chef Aidan Brooks was born and bred. All of the fruit and veg on his menus has to have been cultivated or foraged in the borough, and everything else has to be Hackney-produced or sourced.

Aidan's interactive style of service means he's on hand to offer insightful details behind each dish as it's presented, explaining where things were grown or where they came from. This makes the whole experience way more than just a meal.

DIETARY RESTRICTIONS: We are able to cater to a wide variety of dietary requirements - simply let us know when booking and then leave the rest to us!

⭐️ Featured in The Handbook as one of London's Top 10 Supper Clubs!

From the former Head Chef of Vanilla Black comes Eleven98: a Hackney-based social dining experience enjoyed at The Chef's Table and also as popups at some of the coolest spots across the London borough of Hackney. We always kick off proceedings with a quirky welcome cocktail and serve bespoke multi-course tasting menus. The truly unique concept of Eleven98 is that we source all of our produce from within the borough of Hackney! This means that all fruits, vegetables and herbs used across the menu will have been literally cultivated or foraged within a mile or two of where you'll be eating it! Lots of the produce is grown in Aidan's own veg garden, and his passion for sustainability and permaculture principles is visible throughout every aspect of the Eleven98 experience.

I attended Aidan's home just before lockdown and it was such a fantastic evening. Each course was so well-thought through with Aidan explaining all the local ingredients and history of the area. Both our table and the table next to us got chatting, by the end of the night the whole room + Aidan and his partner were all sharing memories and our favourite music. A really special night before lockdown and food to die for!

We thoroughly enjoyed our evening with Aidan. It was a very unusual menu but really enjoyable by all, with some of us eating things we didn’t think we would eat. Everything worked well and we would highly recommend the private dining event and will be returning again soon

I love the idea of a tasting menu and the concept of locally sourced food. That combined with the idea of being in the chef's home was a real drawcard. The experience was really wonderful. Great food a wonderful host and perfect company at the shared table. As the season changes I'm sure I will return for another visit. I would highly recommend you visit either as a party or as I did as one.

We thoroughly enjoyed the supper club. Each dish was so well thought out and carefully prepared and I loved that it was helping the local community. We enjoyed chatting about the food to new people on our table too. I will definately be telling friends and family about it and bringing them back to enjoy it too!
