IKEA launches DIY dining club in London – where guests eat completely free

The Swedish giant is inviting budding foodies to cook up a storm for up to 20 of their friends, and it won't cost a penny

Swedish flatpack giant IKEA is set to launch a DIY dining club in London, where guests will eat free of charge.

From September 10 - 25, budding foodies who score a spot at the Shoreditch-based club will be able to prepare, cook and serve a meal for up to 20 of their friends, with all food, drink and even waiting staff provided by the retailer.

A head chef will be on hand to supervise the kitchen – and, presumably, chip in with some of the cooking – which will be open from 10am until 10pm for lunch and supper, and additionally brunch on the weekends. There will also be a sous chef, a maître d and a team to help clean and wash up on hand.

Elsewhere, IKEA is also hosting ‘Food for Thought’ workshops, a series of master classes featuring the likes of Great British Bake Off winner Edd Kimber and food blogger Pixie Turner.

For more information and to book at slot at IKEA’s The Dining Club, visit ikea.co.uk.
