Effra’s Table brings together cooks who have lived along the path of the River Effra – now gathering at the river’s end in Vauxhall, at the beloved Bonnington Café, to share simple, seasonal, wholesome, and hearty dishes with the community around us.

Our focus is on fermented foods, seasonality, and an ever growing curiosity in how we grow, cook, and eat. 

We donate 3% of the takings from Effra’s Table to Gatwick Detainees Welfare Group who support people affected by immigration detention.
