London Supper Clubs: Dinner with Strangers

At a shared table you sit next to people you have never met, and the food gives you the first thing to talk about. We only list tables that announce their dinners on their own page or channel.

The tables one by one

Timeleft (various restaurants)

Timeleft puts you at a restaurant table with four to six other people matched to you. In London the dinners are on Wednesdays and Fridays at 7 pm, in restaurants from Soho to London Bridge; the app shows you the place twelve hours before, and bookings close 13 hours before the start. Booking needs a membership whose price depends on the plan and is shown in the app before you pay; you pay for your own food and drinks at the venue. Timeleft London

KF.Social (various restaurants)

KF.Social books a table for six: you and five others matched by age and shared interests, for people who want to make friends in London. You book one dinner at a time, without a membership, on the website or in the app, and the restaurant and its location are shared six hours before. A booking costs £15, or £5 with a premium membership; food and drinks are paid separately. KF.Social

Savour Societies (restaurants and cafés)

A social dining community with small tables of four to eight people in London restaurants and cafés, in Soho, Islington, Green Park, Shoreditch and elsewhere. You choose a table by mood and interest and buy a seat ticket online; early-bird seat prices start at £5.50, and some tables start at £7.50 or £11.50. Once four guests have booked, the table is confirmed. You order and pay for your own meal at the restaurant. Savour Societies

The Hackney Supper Club (Hackney Road)

A series of one-off dinners inside The Hackney on Hackney Road, each with a guest chef, several courses and paired wines, served at one long table. The venue plans one a month. Tickets usually cost £75 to £95 a head, with a cocktail, dinner and paired wines. According to the venue, most guests come alone or as a pair. The venue's own supper clubs go to the mailing list 48 hours before public release, and seats only go on public sale if any are left; partner dinners may be announced when public booking opens.

Migrateful (several venues)

Migrateful runs family-style cookery classes at several places in London, among them its cookery school on Corporation Row in Clerkenwell and venues in Islington, Southwark, Bermondsey and Peckham. The chef teaches you to cook dishes from their home country, and the class ends with a meal of what you cooked. Each class is booked on its own; the upcoming London classes we saw cost £59 or £70.

Dining in the Garden (near Canada Water)

Global Generation, a charity that runs community gardens, holds a supper club series in its Paper Garden on Teredo Street, near Canada Water, to raise money for its work. A ticket includes canapés, a welcome cocktail, a three-course meal cooked partly over an open fire, and wine or soft drinks; after dinner there's music and a bar. One ticket costs £60, two cost £90. The next date is on its series page and on its ticket page. Global Generation, events

Kitchen Theory Chef's Table (Holborn)

Supperclub.tube (Walthamstow)

According to its website, Supperclub.tube serves a six-course dinner inspired by Latin American food three evenings a week at the Walthamstow Pumphouse Museum. Guests arrive at the same time and eat together. For its special Come Solo night, described on its Come Solo page, the 12-seat communal table is reserved for individual bookings. You book a seat through Tock; its pages give no price and no dates, so check both when you book. Supperclub.tube

Divertimenti Supper Clubs (Knightsbridge)

Divertimenti's cookery school on Brompton Road in Knightsbridge also holds supper clubs: themed dinners at shared tables, not a cookery course. Supper clubs take place on selected dates listed in the cookery school calendar, and each dinner is booked on its own; the listed dinner costs £85 (2026). Check the calendar for the next date before you go. Divertimenti Supper Clubs, cookery school calendar

After dinner

Simple openers work: "Have you been to one of these before?", "What's the best thing you've eaten in London lately?", "Can you recommend another supper club?" And if you got on well with someone, suggest going to the next dinner together.

For people who host a supper club

If you host a table like these, you know the moment at the door when guests leave without swapping numbers. before is a web app for organisers. When guests arrive you show the QR code on your phone; they check in with it in their browser, without installing an app, and anyone who likes takes a selfie. The day after, the afterparty is open from 10 am to 8 pm. Anyone who shared a selfie sees everyone else who shared one there and can press the button for meeting again for up to five people. At 8 pm everyone finds out at the same time who wants to see each other again, and only then does a chat open. One-sided wishes stay invisible, and nobody receives a rejection. Nobody needs a profile. More on the page before for organisers.
