Join us for the first COMMUNITY SUPPER CLUB at SET Social - Sunday June 2nd !!!
Our first event is a collaboration with Communal Clay, including a pottery workshop + 3-course meal:
– 2PM: 2-hour pottery workshop led by Communal Clay. The workshop will involve making decorative ceramic tiles which will be fired and glazed by Communal Clay after the event. They'll be used to decorate the upcoming vegetable garden being built at Set Social this June.
– 4:30PM: 3-course meal served in the garden, prepared by the CSC team and volunteers. The meal is a set menu designed by us to make the most of available seasonal food, including surplus and locally-grown produce (see menu below!). Food will be served to share across tables so expect to be seated with other people!
We expect the event to wrap up by 7pm.
MENU + DIETARY REQUIREMENTS:
Below is the planned menu for the event, although we might be making a few last-minute tweaks depending on available seasonal + surplus produce. The sharing menu is designed to cater for vegetarian and vegan guests, but unfortunately we're unable to offer gluten-free alternatives. Please let us know of any dietary requirements at checkout, just to help us plan quantities etc, thank you! :)
STARTERS: Sourdough Flatbreads, tomato salad with pickled wild garlic flowers, lacto-fermented pickles, spicy aubergine dip and a herby-lemony infused oil.
MAIN: Whole BBQ fish, charred cabbage, smashed roast potatoes with labneh, and a broad+butter bean salad.
DESSERT: Fruit upside-down cake with infused cream
TICKET PRICING:
All Community Supper Club events are priced based on a sliding scale model meaning guests only pay what they can afford. We believe the joys of communal eating should be accessible to all, and that food systems should be built on solidarity rather than exclusivity, and the pay-what-you-can model helps us achieve that. There are 5 ticket options to choose from depending on your ability to pay, with a recommended ticket price at £20 as a guide, and a pay-it-forward option for those who can afford to, which helps us cover the costs for cheaper tickets.
Our events are 100% non-profit, and the recommended price is set to help us cover the cost of food and the workshop. Any money made on top of that will go towards funding future events.
ABOUT COMMUNITY SUPPER CLUB:
Community Supper Club is a pay-what- you-can communal dining initiative based in south-east London. We host affordable supper clubs, aiming to bring together our local community and help people explore and develop new skills while having a delicious meal. Our events offer a restaurant-quality three-course meal at an accessible price alongside a workshop taught in a welcoming, friendly environment. We’re 100% non-profit and run by volunteers.
Our vision is to provide an accessible dining experience which challenges the huge inequalities in access to eating out, which have only widened as a result of the cost of living crisis. In the face of increasing social isolation, communal eating can be an incredibly powerful way of bringing people together and strengthening the local community. We also aim to work in collaboration with local community growing spaces and gardens, food organisations, as well as using as much surplus and locally-grown food as possible for our events.
In the spirit of community-building, the supper clubs will include a workshop where we can learn from each other, developing skills that are usually less accessible, whether they be crafts, DIY, or life skills (just to name a few examples). Above all we hope to create events that welcome people from as many different backgrounds as possible, and contribute to the growing network of alternative food models in southeast London, placing community and accessibility above profit margins.

Communal Clay CIC is a ‘not-for-profit’ organisation which offers low-cost and free workshops to the local community. Their aim is to make clay and sculpture more inclusive and accessible to everyone. Communal Clay is run by artists Tabitha Weddell and Alice Kashara Macrae.
