2025 Dates: February 15th • March 15th • April 26th • May 24th • July 12th • August 23rd • October 11th • November 15th

Our monthly Dining Club evenings are for ten people to join us at The Food Library for a meal showcasing Michael’s talent for beautiful, delicious and sustainable food, and Laura’s passion for hosting a decent party.

Each of Michael’s menus features at least four courses made up of freshly grown or creatively preserved produce straight from our tantalising kitchen garden, foraged food, seasonal treats from local suppliers, The Food Library chutneys, ferments, cured meats and preserves.

Evenings begin with a cocktail or mocktail made from our own collection of liqueurs such as rhubarb gin and blackberry whisky, kombucha or cordials such as redcurrant and rhubarb & rosemary. Everything is prepared lovingly at the Food Library with the best tasting ingredients; inspired by the book collection and what’s growing in the garden.

You’ll be welcomed with open arms on the night by Michael and Laura and arrive to a ‘tablescape’ envisioned by our amazing neighbour Amanda of “Pluck” in response to the menu. It’s an opportunity to meet new friends during an atmospheric night in our comfortable home, surrounded by The Food Library books.

Tables can be booked by a whole group of ten or you can book to join an existing table as one, two, three etc.

Some example menus are below.
