Here are our guests at our secret Crafternoon Tea Party last Saturday, after a hard hour's sewing they deserved a slap-up afternoon tea didn't they?! We chose a new location this time, a really delightful village…

I am working with a great young chef named Rob Thomas in Winnipeg, skilled in many things including Caribbean fusion. We are looking to make a TV series that dabbles in Food and Folklore, hoping all you food lovers out there will watch when we are complete!

New look website looks great!

All of us that take food and drink seriously, both supper club hosts and guests, are willing to fork out a bit extra for craftmanship. One could argue that being a chef itself is not an art but a craft.…

Launching the supper club here in Crystal Palace is hugely exciting for us. We are incredibly passionate about food and one of us is even a trained chef ! We are pouring over menu ideas and layout and of course the first thing on the list is to spread the word and get our name out there. June might seem a while off but in the world of event planning and execution it’s not very long at all. Not to mention the type of dining experience we want to create. It’s all go! …
