Supper Clubs have been making their mark on the dining scene for the past decade or so, and they might just be the most interesting, fun and stress-free way to eat, drink and be merry.
What do people like about them?
Supper Clubs are essentially Pop-Up restaurants, that are run by chef’s and are often based in venues that are not actually restaurants. This means that you get to eat somewhere entirely unique, so it already feels secret and special, but with restaurant quality food. Add to that a fixed menu, a pre-booked ticket and a convivial setting, and you have a pretty perfect way to eat out.
What will we eat?
If the Supper Club has a theme, as they often do, then the menu is usually curated with that in mind. There’s a whole foodie world of possibilities out there, so why settle for the ordinary when you could find yourself dining at a renaissance banquet, nibbling around a geographical region, or settling down to a home-cooked gem that you’d forgotten you liked so much. Preparing a select menu for a smaller crowd means the chef can take that extra care with each course, which can make the all the difference between a good meal and a great one.
Who goes there?
One of the highlights of a Supper Club is its sociability. Unlike the rigid mores of a restaurant, Supper Club people are far more likely to mingle and chat to their table-mates.
What about a drink?
At our supper club Wordsworth’s, there is always a bar of carefully selected wines and beers. Chef Linda is not only an amazing cook, but she’s also a member of the Circle of Wine Writers and a wine judge, so we’re in expert hands.
Does anything else happen?
Of course it does! Our Supper Clubs also include the finest in live entertainment. We’ve already been thrilled to the close harmony escapades of the Gaga Ladies, danced like dervishes to Hungarian folk ensemble YekDuy and thrown caution to the wind with a diners open mic night!
When’s the next one?
Our next event is Boudicca’s Banquet on Friday February 9th, which features all the best elements from the Baroque dining era, updated for the 21st century. Many new foods were introduced to European dining tables in the 17th century including potatoes, chocolate and spices, and sweet and savoury were often combined. Alongside this post-renaissance feast, we will be welcoming our new harpsichord ‘Boudicca’ to the fold with some baroque carousing after the meal.
