Skip Garden and Kitchen in Camden

Apareció para mirar el jardín de salto, tal vez la época del año, pero aunque el concepto es bueno, el 'jardín' estaba lleno de malezas y no crecía mucho, ¡aunque los perales ciertamente estaban dando sus frutos! Brillante idea de usar contenedores y materiales reciclados, pero sentí que se necesitaba más TLC. La plataforma de visualización muestra el progreso del cambio en el área, lo cual es sorprendente.

Este pequeño oasis en Lewis Cubbitt Gardens es encantador: plantación genuina por parte de personas que utilizan productos sustentables y mucha imaginación. Las hierbas, las flores y las frutas se siembran utilizando cualquier material que se tenga a mano, especialmente los viejos restos que se transforman en deliciosos jardines de plantación. En la entrada hay un delicioso cobertizo de café que tiene asientos dentro y fuera. Tomamos té y pastel, pero había una selección encantadora de quiche y almuerzo en exhibición, así que definitivamente lo intentaremos en una etapa posterior ya que el pastel de naranja era delicioso. Toda la comida es obviamente casera y el personal es muy amable y hablador. Té servido en teteras individuales y bonita vajilla blanca lisa.

Vine aquí después de escuchar mucho sobre eso. Estaba muy decepcionado. Obtuve la sopa de maíz dulce que no tenía sabor y me sirvieron un pan que tenía la textura de un pastel. Tomé solo un bocado y dejé el resto. Mi amigo me dieron una ensalada que era pequeña y carecía de sustancia y el hinojo estaba recocido.

Lugar realmente encantador. Muchas áreas diferentes para comer una deliciosa comida aquí. Tuvimos un gran sandwich abierto, bollo y ensalada. Realmente increíble lo que han hecho con el espacio. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente

No estaba seguro de qué esperar, pero me sorprendió gratamente. Hay diferentes áreas del sitio, tanto dentro como fuera, para sentarse, comer y beber. Vimos voluntarios trabajando duro y había niños en un viaje escolar. Elegimos sentarnos afuera con una tetera y charlar bajo el área del dosel. También hay una plataforma de observación del resto del desarrollo emergente. Me encantaría volver para el almuerzo o uno de sus deliciosos pasteles. Me gusta bastante el hecho de que mucha gente no lo sabe, ya que eso ayuda con su encanto

This place is quite hard to find, gave up looking for it once before as not many signs to direct you. Did manage to get there today. They have six skips for growing plants which they use for salads and other foods. There is a greenhouse made out of recycled windows which looks great. The cafe have a good selection of coffees and teas, some cakes and scones. Prices are very reasonable, staff are friendly. The garden/kitchen keeps moving around while the area is being built up, they are now on their 4th location. Most of the materials used are recycled local building materials, particularly scaffolding boards. Worth having a look when in the area.

The Skip Garden is a highly unusual and innovative space. First and foremost, it is a lovely garden created from recycled industrial products - themed gardens in skips (hence the name!) - including an amazing greenhouse made from recycled windows, a work of art in itself. Of course, the produce must be put to good use, and it is, in the pleasant onsite café. Lunch is prepared daily and includes original takes on classic soups, as well as other tasty home-produced dishes. There are regular themed evening and weekend events too. If you find yourself in the King's Cross re-development area search out the Skip Garden. It's only a 20-minute walk from King's Cross-St. Pancras, so even Eurostar travellers could pop in!! As I have done a few times!!

A joy to wander and breath in the calm relaxed atmosphere so close to the chaos of Kings Cross. Staff were friendly and helpful, tea was, good quality, plentiful and very cheap for London - 3 pots for under a fiver!

Came here total by chance whist walking around the Kings Cross/ Regents Canal area, for a drink before heading home. The Tea & Coffee was very good and at a very good price as most Tea & Coffee is over-priced. The garden were all the produce that is used in the kitchen was a really clever idea, I wish more people had more creative ideas when it came to growing vegetables and fruit in small spaces, the bug hotels were cute to. Will come back there for lunch at some point in the future.

Great atmosphere - lovely people and superb salad , great coffee and really delicious apple and ginger cake ...... plenty to choose from in this little place of peace amidst the city

Lovely spot in middle of kings cross development. Cheese scones straight out of oven and coffee equal to the mainstream outlets at granary square.

Garden with a metro city view. Surprises at every nook and corner. The cauliflower, cumin and tahini soup is the best soup I eat in a while. Cheese scones are to die for! The staffs are friendly, makes you feel welcome. Overall, it's a place I'd like to take my friends to the next time I come to London. Excellent!

I stumbled upon this cafe at lunch time and was treated to a variety of vegan sandwiches and salad, all of which were absolutely delicious. Great value for money and a rustic Bohemian feel to the cafe which is a breath of fresh air in the newly renovated Kings Cross area.

I visited here on 15th September 2016 for a lunch meeting with a friend. I pass here almost everyday on my way in to work and my friend actually recommended it. The food is reasonably priced and is freshly prepared daily. Some of the ingredients and herbs are grown on the plot surrounding the "container" style structure. We were lucky enough to visit on a warm day so the ambience was particularly inviting. Staff were friendly and prompt and I could see that they took care in preparing each order as they have an open style kitchen whereby you can see the food being prepped. I ordered a Butternut Squash and Quinoa salad. I have to be honest it was just a salad I was not expecting anything out of the ordinary BUT I have to say it's one of the best salads that I've ordered. Really tasty, so much so I asked for the recipe. Such a great concept will definitely be visiting again. Highly recommend.

Found the Skip Garden and Cafe when exploring the back of Kings Cross which is being re-developed. The developers have temporarily given over some land for this garden and cafe. There's also an open air pool and viewing area. Really enjoyed wandering around the funky garden and the little ramshackle cafe. What a find in the middle of London. Will be back. Shame it can't stay

I loved stumbling upon this place! In the winter of 2015 I first visited and sat in a tipi near a log fire with a hot tea :) quirky little place, great food and an 'alternative' experience in the heart of London. Close to London's...

Skip Garden is well worth a visit. Great food, reasonable prices and it's something totally different to the norm. The whole places is made from recycled materials, which have been used to create a cleverly designed space, built by local young people. There's a huge...

Visited this evening for the supper club. Lovely vegan food, cooked and presented beautifully and lots of it. Will definitely go to another one, highly recommend.

Really excellent coffee, friendly service and great cake. This is a charming and quirky cafe that is a joy to discover. Opposite the outdoor pool there is a small inside eating area with some tables outside. Highly recommended.

I had coffee and cake here, absolutely delicious (both), friend raved about the home made soup. The garden is made from reclaimed anything from a building site and the gardens in the skips (thus the name) provide fresh herbs, vegetables and flowers which are used...

what an absolute gem in the middle of London. All built out of scrap, loving the window glass house. The food and drinks are lovely and tasteful, outdoors oven baked pizza, a tipi and viewing platform.

Funky little cafe five minutes from St. Pancras and King's Cross Stations. Made from salvaged items it is very interesting. Good coffee too.

What a find, in the heart of the booming multi-acred, high-rise Kngs Cross regeneration project, where a group called Global Generation has created a food-growing allotment, whose structure is almost entirely (and attractively) created from what the builders have discarded, such as the eponymous 'skip'...
