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.
This autumn, Executive Chef Anna Quemard joins forces with Henry and Cassie from Butler's Wine Cellar for one rather special evening at Reading Room at Saltdean Lido.
Anna has created a five-course menu celebrating the very best of the season, full of deep autumn flavours, clever details and the thoughtful cooking she is known for.
Henry and Cassie have taken on the very serious job of choosing five brilliant wines to accompany it. Expect characterful bottles, a few stories from the cellar and plenty of Henry's unmistakable flair as he talks us through each pairing.
Good food, excellent wine and three people who know rather a lot about both, brought together for one unforgettable night at the Lido.
