WHAT DO THE EVENTS INVOLVE?
Upon arrival we lead guests through our Cooking Academy, down the stairs past our working basement kitchen and through to the secret supper club dining room. This all adds to the theatre of the occasion – Our guests are invited into the beating heart of our operations, where our chefs host the evening; explaining the theme underpinning the menu, building anticipation about the dishes we have created, and giving a brief explanation of each dish as it is served. All you need to do is sit back and enjoy the experience. All food and wine flights will have been pre-ordered and paid for upon booking. You can order from our drinks menu on the night and anybar bill can be settled as you leave.
HOW DO I BOOK
Our menus typically run for 4-6 weeks on a Friday and Saturday evening. Our menus are available to view online with the available dates listed alongside (include link to page). Once you’ve found a menu you’d like to try or a date you’d like to visit, you simply follow the steps to confirm your booking through our website.

We do not offer vegetarian or vegan alternatives, however we do run special vegetarian and vegan events periodically so keep an eye on our website and social media for further information.
Our cooking style means that dairy features heavily in the majority of our dishes. Therefore, unfortunately we cannot provide a lactose free menu.
