Filipino home cooking, in the UK

Come hungry.Leave family.

D'Cocina (say it d'co-SEE-na)

D'Cocina is our first business. Kain tayo (let's eat): Filipino home cooking for the whole table, a place to bring the family and share a table.

A table of D'Cocina dishes: sizzling sisig with an egg, glazed ribs on a board, a sweet and sour dish and a golden curry with vegetables.

Where it began

One family, cooking for celebrations.

D'Cocina started in 2011 as one Filipino family cooking for celebrations. One event at a time, British guests discovered kare-kare, lechon and halo-halo, and came back for more.

In just two years we have grown to three restaurants. The welcome has not changed: there is always room at the table, and always enough to share.

Our restaurants

Three places to sit down together.

The commissary

One kitchen behind every table.

One central commissary kitchen keeps every D'Cocina branch consistent.

That consistency is why franchising works.
