the urban element
Carley & Oliver Schelck, Owners
“Our goal is to create a unique culinary experience”, comments Carley, a University of Guelph Hotel and Food Management graduate who honed her skills in Toronto prior to launching the urban element in 2005. She and Oliver undertook major renovations in order to transform Hintonburg's heritage Fire Station No.11 into a 1700 square foot event space with state-of-the-art cooking facilities that enable close contact with chefs, hands -on cooking opportunities & comfortable dining. Committed environmentalists Carley and Oliver advocate seasonal, local, farm-to-table produce, organics and slow food principles.
The urban element provides “a place where friends, colleagues and families may gather to learn, explore and play in a unique food-centric environment.” Both demonstration and hands-on cooking classes with local chefs and wine experts are offered, as well as special occasion and corporate event hosting.
