Helping businesses to thrive rather than just survive in the new normal: we like the aim of new east London opening The Tramshed Project. From the founder of Street Feast Dominic Cools-Lartigue, the venue is a membership-free space for co-working, eating and learning in Shoreditch.
In the 120-cover dining space, The Tramshed Project will bring together some of the capital’s much-loved chefs. Zoe Adjonyoh of Zoe’s Ghana Kitchen has created a selection of traditional Ghanian recipes, whilst James Cochran of 12:51 will be serving fried and jerk chicken, and both Andrew Clarke and Daniel Watkins will offer smoked meats and plant-based dishes.
The working space features booths that can be booked by teams, laptop bars for solo workers and venue spaces for larger gatherings – even featuring screens for Zoom calls (it looks like they’re here to stay…) Meanwhile, a huge basement gallery makes room for events, residencies, talks and workshops, first up a food and cultural festival for Black History Month from the 23 to 25 of October.
“Among the many lessons of lockdown, we learned the power of purpose” says Cools-Lartigue. “We heard countless tales of communities coming together do good and help their neighbours in need. That same spirit of togetherness is at the heart of our approach to opening The Tramshed Project.”
On the back of his initiative A Plate for London, which fed nearly 21,000 people during lockdown, it’s good to hear that Cools-Lartigue will continue his charitable work by partnering partnering with Hackney Council and The Felix Project. Together, they’ll distribute food to vulnerable people through local charities in Hackney.
