From India to Italy and England, to Spain via Japan and France…
Signorelli - Escape to the Italian Riviera
During these colder months, founder of Signorelli and Italian food lover, Alberto, gets nostalgic for his hometown in Liguria, on the Italian Riviera. Once guests have enjoyed a welcome glass of Rossese, Alberto will cook them a feast that brings his roots to life and puts his most favoured childhood gastronomic memories on their plate. It’s all about fresh, seasonal, flavoursome ingredients that create simple, yet distinct flavours. Food that for centuries fed farmers, sailors and highlanders... Unique vegetables, Mediterranean catch and the unforgettable taggiasca olives are just a handful of the wonderful ingredients that will feature in this three-course menu. Meet the chef, ask questions and share your culinary knowledge.
Dishes include Ligurian antipasti ‘Frisceu’ and a ‘Torta Pasqualina’, chard and parmesan savoury pie

Tina, We Salute You - You’ll get what you’re given or fill up on biscuits!
An ambiguous supper club in an ambiguous venue... The award-winning third wave cafe, Tina, We Salute You, welcomes guests to feast on a five-course menu curated with owner Steve’s mums’ motto in mind - “you’ll get what you’re given...” The fun doesn’t stop there, as guests tantalise their taste buds, they will be able to request their favourite ballads from the 80’s and 90’s which guest Pianist, Nick Thorne, will perform live on the evening.
Dishes include Russian butternut squash dumplings
with flavoured vodka shot and roast pork belly or cauliflower steak with deep fried macaroni and cheese balls.

Darkhorse - Travel to the Basque Country
Darkhorse is a modern European restaurant and cocktail bar - with Spanish influenced food and drink wrapped in a British attitude. Dedicated to just one area of Spain, the Basque Country, this Supper Club has a four-course set menu which encompasses the northern coastal roads from San Sebastian to Bilbao through to small fishing villages like Getaria. Basque cuisine is wide-ranging and innovative, based on ingredients sourced from the Cantabrian sea, local gardens and farms. If any one feature stands out in the gastronomy, it’s the use of seasonal, top quality produce - cooked well, with little fuss. This menu reflects some of those great ingredients and some of the chefs’ favourite dishes eaten whilst travelling around the region.
Mains include hake with fine herbs, Txakoli and clams or char-grilled lamb neck with Basque spices and black pudding

Ted’s Veg - Vegan Japanese
If you enjoy raw vegan food and are keen to discover Japanese-inspired cooking methods using plant-based ingredients, this four-course Supper Club is for you. The superfood menu curated by guest chef, Marie Soh, aims to show the goodness of raw whole foods - not cooked, but warmed to preserve their nutritious elements. Learn as you eat about the antioxidant properties and elements in each of the dishes, that help to boost bone health, assist in reducing cholesterol and improve the overall wellbeing of your heart. A fitting end to a health-inducing meal, finish off the evening with a course that delights the palette and calms the body.
