Cooking The Books

  • The Old Station Yard Cafe 186 Wood Street London, England, E17 3NA United Kingdom (map)

Of course we had to kick off the cosy season with the cosiest book of them all: The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien!

A classic from 1937 that many of you are already familiar with, but can experience in a whole new way in a toasty café away from the busy streets, tasting the food that the characters from this iconic novel would have enjoyed.

If you are not too familiar with this text then fear not! Some helpful links will be added down below in case you can’t get round to reading the whole thing.

Menu is still to be determined so stay tuned but be sure to get your early bird tickets now! Tickets for this event will be on sale until Wednesday 15th of October at 12pm so don’t miss out!
