30th September - 8th October @ Various

Would you like the luxury of a delicious home-cooked meal in the comfort of someone else's home? Then membership to our Pop-Up Dinner Club is for you ... we’re very excited about our special Octoberfeast Pop Up Dinners and are thrilled to be bringing this underground phenomenon to Lewes by hosting a series of OctoberFeast Secret Suppers from Friday 30th September – Saturday 8th October. Lewes is obviously full of keen cooks as we can now list a host of hosts who are ready to put on a dinner party to remember for a table of surprise guests.

You can become a member of the Pop-Up Dinner Club by choosing which menu theme appeals to you most, then pay for your membership online for a fee of £22 per person. Your membership fee covers one meal per person, but if you're feeling adventurous (or hungry!) we're offering a special deal of £40 for a Dual Dinner Deal which will allow you to buy two meals per person (contact us here if you're interested). Unless otherwise stated, the hosts are Lewes-based, and their address will be disclosed to you once you've become a member. Your membership card will be given to you on the night when you arrive.

Listed below under 'More Details' are the dates and the themes of the dinners - you choose and pay for your dinner and we will then send you the location and time etc.

You must agree to terms and conditions.

You can book separately for our very special gourmet dinner which is being prepared by Masterchef 2006 winner Peter Bayless who will entertain 10 guests at his home near Heathfield; apart from his fabulous food there will be the added spice of some ‘behind the scenes’ gossip from the TV studios! Membership to attend his gourmet dinner costs £35pp but will be worth every last mouthful!
