Who We Are
Good food. Big flavours. No rules.
The Kitchn Social was born from a simple idea — food should bring people together.
Created by a chef with over 15 years of experience in hospitality, The Kitchn Social is all about cooking the food we love, experimenting with different flavours and creating dishes that are made to be enjoyed together.
No stuffy restaurant rules. No pretending to be something we’re not. Just really good food, big flavours and a place for people to come together.
From pop-up dining experiences and sit-down events to takeaway favourites, our menus are always evolving. You might find comforting classics one week, bold Mediterranean flavours the next, or something completely different that we’ve been dying to try.
We don’t believe food needs to fit neatly into one box. We take inspiration from everywhere, put our own spin on it, and most importantly, keep it properly tasty.
Whether you’re joining us for a full evening around the table or grabbing something to take home, we want The Kitchn Social to feel relaxed, welcoming and a little bit different.
Come hungry. Leave happy.
Welcome to The Kitchn Social.
Meet The Team
Ash - Founder & Head Chef
I’m the chef, the menu over-thinker, the person who will happily spend three hours deciding whether something needs another squeeze of lemon, and the guy behind The Kitchn Social.
I’ve been cooking professionally for over 15 years, which sounds very grown-up and impressive until you realise I still get ridiculously excited when I find a really good ingredient.
I’ve worked in plenty of kitchens, cooked a lot of food and learnt a hell of a lot along the way. But somewhere between the early mornings, late nights, mountains of washing-up and “Chef, we’ve run out of…”, I realised I wanted to create something that was completely my own.
I love food from everywhere. I’ll steal an idea from one country, nick an ingredient from another, throw in something my mum taught me, change my mind halfway through cooking it and somehow, hopefully end up with something bloody delicious.
The menu will change. I’ll get obsessed with new dishes. Some things will become firm favourites and others might disappear after one outing because, well… back to the drawing board.
And that’s the fun of it.
The Kitchn Social is my little corner of the food world. A place where I can cook the things I’m excited about, feed people properly and hopefully give you a reason to come back and see what I’m up to next.
So whether you’re sitting down for dinner, grabbing something to take home or turning up to one of our slightly chaotic food nights…
Welcome. Pull up a chair.
There’s probably something good coming out of the kitchen.
