Where in Islington we cook

N1, N7, and the streets in between.

Angel Upper Street Barnsbury Canonbury Highbury Holloway Caledonian Road

It is one of the areas we are asked about most, and one of the easiest to reach, so weekday evening slots tend to stay open longer here than they do further out.

If you are on the edge of the postcode, put it into the booking form and it will tell you in one click. You can also read what weekly Japanese meal prep involves, or see every area we cover.

Getting to you

Travel is included in every price.

Angel and Holloway Road on the Northern and Piccadilly lines, with Highbury and Islington and Caledonian Road and Barnsbury on the Overground.

Your chef sorts their own journey and it costs you nothing. We cook in Finsbury Park, Camden, Hackney and Stoke Newington as well, so if you sit near one of those boundaries either page will do.

Where to do the fresh shop

On the hybrid and you-shop options, the fresh ingredients are yours to buy.

Chapel Market is the cheapest fresh shop in N1 and has been for a very long time; Holloway Road covers the N7 end.

We send the exact list for your dishes when we confirm, and bring the Japanese pantry ourselves.
