“Times are hard for dreamers,” said Amélie, but not for diners. Not at our Supper Clubs!
Let us transport you to Montmartre: the scent of roasting garlic and thyme, a playlist of wistful French chansons and accordion twirls drifting over the amiable hum of conversation.
Inspired by the world of Amélie Poulain - the girl who liked skipping stones, cracking crème brûlée with a spoon, and plunging her hand into sacks of lentils - we’ve created a supper club of simple French pleasures, full of warmth, nostalgia and food cooked with love.
Each dish will be served to communal tables, where strangers become friends, flavours sing, and no one ever eats alone.
To book (and avoid booking fees), call us directly on 01603 626402. Let us know about dietary requirements and we’ll see if we can accommodate.
