Dining Club

2027 Dates: February 6th • March 6th • April 24th • May 22nd • July 10th

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.

“A totally surprising event, the best food I have eaten in years”

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.

BOOK NOW

Tickets are £75pp. Please email Michael@food-library.co.uk or phone 07475 632970 to ask any questions prior to booking. Please also take a moment to read the terms on our ticket page before booking.

Due to the preparation that starts in the weeks before a Dining Club meal, tickets are non-refundable and not transferable to another date, however they can be transferred to another person. This ensures an incredibly special and sustainable meal for your arrival. When booking, please let us know about any allergies and dietary requirements, including if you are vegetarian or vegan.

We are currently investigating new premises for the Food Library. For this reason we have only allocated tickets until July 2027 and more will be released in the New Year. If we should change premises before July, the location of the Dining Club may be subject to change. We will keep you advised and commit to running the Dining Club within a 10mile radius of NN2, however please only book if you and your guests are prepared to travel in this eventuality.
