Dugdale Arts Centre is inviting Enfield residents to enjoy a series of monthly supper clubs featuring “bespoke menus” prepared by local chefs.

Urvashi Roe, a former contestant on Channel 4’s The Great British Bake Off will kick-off the ‘Enfield Feasts’ series at the Dugdale on Saturday, 7th February with an Indian-inspired colour theme to celebrate the festival of Holi. This will be followed on Saturday, 7th March by acclaimed Polish food writer Ren Behan, who will prepare a seasonal Polish feast.

The supper clubs will explore stories and reveal “authentic flavours from around the world” using local ingredients from Forty Hall Farm and local allotments.

Guests will enjoy a multi-course dining experience, panel discussions with the chef and other local community representatives, and an evening of storytelling. Signed copies of the guest chef’s book will be available to purchase on the night.

Chinelo Anyanwu, cabinet member for culture and inclusion, said: “This is one of many ways we are celebrating our wonderful and diverse borough.

“These supper clubs provide so much more than food. They are designed to be enjoyed as a community experience so we can eat, share stories, and proudly celebrate who we are as a borough.”

Chef Urvashi added: “We have a wonderful community of food lovers, creators and growers in our beautiful borough. With this supper club series, we wanted to showcase the diversity of food culture in Enfield and show off our locally grown veg, as well as grow a community of likeminded foodies.”

Tickets for Enfield Feasts cost £46.50 (including the price of the meal):
