Feasted education
FEASTED is more than delicious food. Our restaurant is a base for knowledge and development, both professionally and personal. Exploring context around food and hospitality is our connection to the future; the current food system is clearly defective, and we know that thoughtful micro changes at a local level will push us in a better direction. Simultaneously we know that culinary exploration can be a vehicle for encouraging growth and empowerment. How do we marry the two and use food centric education to inspire and encourage growth in all directions?
training
At Feasted, understanding is rooted in everything we do; not only do we create amazing food, but we take the time to enable all our team to grow with us. A journey through gastronomy, learning along the way, we empower people around food to create, experiment and develop together. We work with chefs and apprentices to help them hone their skills and refine their passions. From a career as a chef to a food writer or stylist, there is no end to the opportunities and options available within our industry.
It is all about creating amazing food and helping people grow in aspiration and understanding themselves, that is at the heart of what we do, and it is so much more than food. It is about believing in yourself and the surroundings, our area and our people, to make things happen.
We identify with the history of Stoke on Trent and connect people to it, while being a force for change and growth, challenging the stereotypes and stigmas around food and our city.
We can also accommodate volunteering placements and work experience for all ages 14+. Click here to find out more

community
Community and enabling our people are essential to our education programme. We facilitate a wide range of self-development workshops through our CIC, often working with those hardest to reach and helping them on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth. People come to us from all walks of life, with complex stories and backgrounds.
Over the past 12 months we have run workshops with the long-term unemployed; those with mental health difficulties; special education needs; asylum seekers and refugees; YMCA residents; school children of all ages and those at risk of exclusion. Our workshops often involve giving back to the community, developing recipes and skills, and using this as a tool to feed and educate the wider population of our city.
