Supper clubs in London
A supper club is a dinner someone puts on outside a normal restaurant. A cook in their own flat, a chef testing a menu before opening, a long table in a gallery for one night. You book a seat, turn up, and usually eat with strangers. London has hundreds of them, and most are small, booked by word of mouth and full within days.
Supper clubs coming up

Nothing’s on the public list in London right now. Organisers put new things on all the time, often only a day or two ahead, and the app tells you when something goes on near you.
How they work
Most have a set menu and a set start time, so everyone sits down together. Seats are limited, often between 10 and 40, which is why the good ones go fast and why the address is sometimes held back until close to the night.
Some are free to come to and paid for by a brand or a drinks sponsor. Most charge per head. Check whether drinks are included, or whether it's bring your own, before you go.
Secret supper clubs
A secret supper club keeps the address back until the day, usually because it's in someone's home. On SendMeTheDrop that's a sealed drop. You see the area, get on it, and the address comes to your phone at the reveal time. That's only for free dinners. A ticketed dinner always shows its location before you pay. See secret London.
What they cost
Prices vary a lot, from a pay-what-you-can community dinner to a tasting menu from a known chef. Whatever the price, it should be clear before you book. On SendMeTheDrop, a ticketed dinner shows its price and its location before you pay.
Before you go
- Tell the host about allergies and dietary needs when you book, not at the table. Set menus can't always change on the night.
- Check whether it's bring your own. If it is, a bottle to share goes down well.
- Be on time. Courses are usually served together.
- If the address is in someone's home, keep it to yourself. Hosts seal it for a reason.
Hosting one
If you cook and want to run a supper club, you can list it as RSVP or guestlist (free, and you choose who comes) or sell seats as tickets. No ticket fees for your first three months. See selling tickets.
Questions
Do I need to book a London supper club?
Almost always. Seats are limited and the host needs to know numbers for the food. Walk-ins are rare.
Why is the address hidden?
Many supper clubs are in people's homes or small spaces. On SendMeTheDrop a free dinner can keep the address sealed until a set time; you get it on your phone when it drops. A ticketed dinner always shows its location before you pay.
Are supper clubs a good way to meet people?
Yes. You sit at a shared table with strangers, which is the point for a lot of people who go. Some are run specifically for meeting people.
Are supper clubs safe?
The vast majority are run by people who love feeding others. Check who the host is, read what's included, and pay through a proper checkout rather than a bank transfer to someone you don't know.
