The Summer Solstice supper clubs are always a highlight of our year, a moment to mark and celebrate those endless early summer evenings and to welcome the bounty of the later summer months. This year we’ve curated a menu based on some of our favourite supper club dishes and the best of what is in the garden and hedgerows in June. Think elderflower and sweet geranium, peas and cucumber, mint and coriander, smoky barbecued chicken and spicy yellow curry, apricots, strawberries, lavender and basil.
We’ll be kicking off the evening with seasonal flatbreads from our wood-fired pizza oven and a punchy rhubarb and sweet geranium gin fizz and finishing up round the fire pit to toast the longest days of the year.
And most excitingly - this will be our first supper club in our new event space! If you have been following us for a while you will know we have been working hard to convert one of our existing outbuildings into a new kitchen and event space and it is almost ready. Join us for delicious food, seasonal chat and to toast a new chapter for The Edible Flower.
