Friday 7th October @ Peter Bayless

As part of our pop-up dinner series of events, we are privileged to include a very special one-off in the form of independent cook and food writer Peter Bayless (winner of Masterchef 2006) as part of our programme. Peter has generously agreed to invite 10 guests into his home especially for Lewes OctoberFeast for a delicious three-course meal which will include meat and vegetarian options (see below for the full menu).

Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to find out why Peter's food is so sought-after, brought to you at a special rate for OctoberFeast. As this is such a special Pop-Up Dinner, the membership rate will be slightly higher than the rest of our events, and you'll be hard pushed to experience such fine dining in an intimate setting anywhere else.

Pop-Up dinner hosts do not provide wine, so it’s up to you to bring a bottle that you feel would best accompany this unique occasion.

Date: Friday 7th October

Time: 7pm

Ticket Info: Special Pop-Up Dinner Membership rate of £35

Venue:

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!

Lewes based Dinners with cooks from Italy, Greece, Morocco, the Caribbean as well modern and traditional British cooking. £22 per head (including membership of Octoberfeast Dining Club)

The hosts do not provide any wine to accompany the meal, so please make sure you bring a bottle of something nice which you think will best accompany your choice.
