    Michelin-trained chef Aidan Brooks, creator of Eleven98 brings you his chef's table concept: an innovative and sustainable fine dining menu served in the open-plan dining space of his beautiful Hackney home!

    What to expect :

    • An innovative and sustainable 7-course tasting menu
     • Welcome drink on arrival + BYOB
     • In the heart of Hackney, East London's most sought-after borough
     • 12 guests around one communal table
     • Former Head Chef at the critically acclaimed Vanilla Black

    From your seat at The Chef's Table, you'll be able to smell the enticing aromas of our Hackney-sourced produce as dinner gets underway. Being so close to the action means you'll have even greater interaction with Chef Aidan throughout the course of the evening.

    Eleven98's evenings will begin 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. Everything plant-based 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.

    This was my first dinner at Aiden's popup and its was excellent. Food was all interesting and followed the ethos of locally sourced. Well presented on interesting plates. Great service by the 2 chefs and another. fun introductory drink. Great company to talk to at the communal table in a very pleasant venue at Hackney Coffee. What's more to like?

    Aidan was a fantastic host with a great ethos behind the ultra-locally sourced food he was serving. He was very welcoming and open to answering any questions (of which there are many due to the intricate and fabulous design of the meal), with impressive care and attention given to dietary requirements across the delicious tasting menu of courses - including amazing vegan & vegetarian options. Highly recommended for everyone!
