Shared experience
We specialise in fine food, fine dining experiences, and bespoke culinary tuition.
We believe that food should be a shared experience with good quality food being readily available to all. We endeavour to share our passion for fine food by sourcing and creating top-quality produce; by passing on our knowledge through teaching bespoke lessons and by providing opportunities for people to experience traditional, yet innovative food through our unique dining experiences and events.
Apron Strings Culinary Studio specialises in fine food and offers something different to the historic town of Hedon and the surrounding area. Located on Hedon’s oldest street, Souttergate, Apron Strings is our front facing specialist food shop offering a wide range of cheese, charcuterie, sourdough and other artisan produce.
Specialist knowledge & expertise
We are experienced professionals in the fields of high-end food, hospitality, and education.
Attached to Apron Strings is our Culinary Studio, where we hold private cookery lessons and bespoke workshops with our London Ivy and Ritz trained chef.

We pride ourselves on our excellent customer service and attention to detail, bringing you a personalised and professional service from start to finish.
From the purchase, to the preparation, to the plate…
We have a Chef for Hire service and an event catering service, catering for special occasions and fine dining experiences, including events in your home or exclusive, private dining here at Apron Strings.
Something different
Whether you would like to shop for locally sourced artisan produce; learn to cook, guided by a professional chef, or simply indulge in a six-course meal – let us inspire you to try something different and share our passion for fine food!
Our shop space is transformed regularly into our very own pop-up restaurant, The Culinary Studio @ Apron Strings, where we provide customers the opportunity to taste something different and enjoy a spectacular six to seven-course meal in a local and unique setting.
The menu is always chosen by our chef, combining traditional cuisine with cutting edge techniques to create innovative fusion food. We use seasonal and local produce at the heart of our design and development, ensuring that we deliver the highest quality dishes from produce sourced locally and sustainably.
We aim to host pop-up restaurant evenings on a monthly basis. Please keep an eye on our social media channels to find out when our upcoming pop-ups will be taking place.
