Our unique London edible insect restaurant cooking events with live insect encounters are run from our kitchen in South Ealing. Private edible insects cooking events and demos can also be arranged at your site on request.
If you are looking for things to do in London this weekend, look no further. Join one of our bug restaurant cooking events, to cook edible insects and then dine together with the other guests. You will also have the opportunity to see out how our family is trying to achieve protein self-sufficiency. We have been growing some worms and other insects in our back garden, and we would like to share our experience with you.
In warmer months, you can book one of our scheduled group events directly from our shop.
In the older months (November - February) we are only available for private classes, team building, school educational visits and events.
If you want to book at a time to suit you, just contact us to agree a date.
Please drop us a message via contact us if you are looking for dates not advertised, or if you have a valid gift voucher.
We regularly open the doors to our bug restaurant based in our home kitchen in London W5 to small groups, at the week-end, March to October. Whether you're looking for a fun day out or for an insight into the world of edible insects, you can be sure that, by booking a visit at London's first edible insect experience, you'll be left feeling satisfied and intrigued to find out more. During your visit you will cook and also learn what it means to rear these lovely little critters - and how doing it could help protect the environment.
The cost for a 3 hours visit, starting at 10:30am is £39.00pp.
This includes cookery class, lunch, and soft drinks.
