Porridge & Knowledge
Nestled in a quiet enclave in the heart of East London, Porridge & Knowledge is the Saturday morning Campfire Club that brings inspiring speakers and spirited musicians to your breakfast table.
All tickets include free & unlimited porridge with a selection of yummy toppings, tea & coffee.
Porridge & Knowledge offers a social environment for the local community, a place where old and young can congregate, learn, and breakfast side-by-side. Twice a month we’ll be joined by a host of world-shaping guests, ready to share their tales of ancient journeys, musical crusades, and groups and individuals that fearlessly chose to paddle against the flow.

Change Maker: Sarah Bentley, Made in Hackney
The planet is sick and people are sick. How do we change people’s eating habits for the good of both – and still have a great time? Sarah Bentley, founder Made In Hackney – the UK’s only 100% plant-based eco community kitchen and cookery school, explains how they’re not only normalising but turning people on to – shock horror – 100% plant-based, yes that’s vegan, local, organic, seasonal food. Sarah Bentley founded the UK’s first 100% plant-based eco-community kitchen and cookery school – Made In Hackney – in September 2012.
Sarah is a former journalist with a passion for social justice, environmentalism, activism and health. She and the project’s dedicated team and volunteers have been on the bumpy but rewarding road of running and funding the award-winning kitchen that has helped over 6000 people transition to eating healthy, affordable food that’s good for people and planet. Many of those people are from vulnerable, marginalised and low-income backgrounds.
Sarah joins us ten days before the kitchens ambitious crowdfunding campaign is due to end with a fundraising target of £45K – with a stretch target all the way up to £85K.
Musician: Balladeste
A collaboration between Preetha Narayanan (Violin) and Tara Franks (cello), string duo, Balladeste, explore the versatility and sound potential of just two string instruments. With traces of contemporary minimalism, Indian classical and folk, the duo creates original compositions that are vibrant and experimental yet melodic and filmic in quality – songs without words with a contemporary alt-folk twist.
