Home Kitchen has been rebranded as 130 Primrose.
MasterChef presenter and chef Monica Galetti has announced that she will be opening a new restaurant. Located in Primrose Hill, Home Kitchen will be rebranded as 130 Primrose, blending the best of British seasonal ingredients with Samoan traditions.
The new venture, 130 Primrose, will offer an all-day menu. Drawing inspiration from Monica’s own background, there will be both British and Samoan influences. The space itself has been refreshed and will include a bright brasserie upstairs and a speakeasy-style cocktail bar downstairs. At the heart of the concept is a social mission. The team will support people affected by homelessness and those in addiction recovery, helping them to build careers in hospitality.
Monica stated: “I’ve seen first-hand how, with the right support, people can rediscover hope, dignity and purpose through opportunities like this. That’s why I didn’t hesitate when I was asked to help shape the culinary future of this incredible project. My first task is to create an exciting new menu that attracts customers to support our mission – celebrating the best British seasonal ingredients with a little twist of fun. Later, I’ll weave in touches of my Samoan heritage, giving our trainees a unique development opportunity.”
Michael Brown, a charity trustee and part of the founding team, added: “Too often, people facing homelessness are excluded from work and written off by society – seen only for their circumstances, not their potential. At the same time, the hospitality industry, among many other challenges, faces a shortage of committed, qualified staff. We’ve started to close both gaps to prove that talent can flourish anywhere and change perceptions. But we must do more.”
