£55-a-head ‘school club’ pops up in impoverished Hackney

COMMUNITY activists blew the whistle on a posh hipster dining club yesterday following revelations that it planned on serving £55 “school meals” in an impoverished borough.

Reclaim Hackney activists launched a campaign to shut down the Art of Dining’s pop-up “After School Club” hosted in the London borough from July 22.

Less than a day after campaigners started protesting against the event on social media, Art of Dining announced it would be donating £5 per meal to children’s charity Magic Breakfast.
