Supper Club

An evening at the Reading Room Supper Club

The Supper Club is an evening of food and wine at its very best, held a few times a year for a small room of guests.

The idea is simple. We give our chefs and their team free rein, and we set them a challenge: take the finest produce Sussex has to offer, from the land and from the sea, and make something remarkable. No set menu to answer to, just their skill, the season, and a table to impress.

These evenings are kept deliberately small. We hold the numbers low so every plate is exactly as it should be and the quality never slips. Often we team up with a local Sussex vineyard as well, matching their wines to the food course by course. However the night is built, it comes back to three things: taste, craft and passion.

Come with friends, come with family, or come entirely on your own. Our hospitality is second to none, and whoever you walk in with, we will look after you from the first welcome to the last goodnight, and send you home with a night you will not forget.

This is your invitation to become part of something. Places are few and they go quickly. Take your seat at the table.
