The Fork
In The Road
An exciting non-profit restaurant where awesome food helps to change lives.
Welcome
The Fork in the Road is a place of great food, ambience and opportunity. A number of the restaurant’s staff will always be those who’ve come through our programme designed to offer precious opportunities to those who need a helping hand – recovering addicts, ex-offenders and the long-term unemployed. The fit-out costs and working capital for this social enterprise have come from our parent charity CEO Sleepout and Public Health England.
“"We believe that society works better when everyone has the chance to contribute. The Fork in the Road is a sustainable social enterprise designed to give people a second chance to work, contribute and bring prosperity to their community."
Andy Preston, Founder - The Fork in the RoadOur Food
