How to start your own supper club

Sheffield Supper Club

Sheffield's first supper club is hosted by the fusion chef and food-lover Komal Khan. Expect traditional Pakistani home cooking in big pans, served al fresco if the weather is behaving itself. £22 a head, with a maximum of 10 diners.sheffieldsupperclub.blogspot.co.uk

The Spice Club Manchester

Manchester's best underground dining experience is run by mother and daughter team Anita and Monica Sawney. They serve beautiful north Indian cuisine in their cosy flat, using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. They also host cookery classes for anyone looking to pick up their skills. Around £35. spiceclubmanchester.com

Moel Faban Supper Club

The food writer and chef Denise Baker-McClearn runs this north Wales supper club on the last Saturday of the month. The dishes are wildly international -– think Burmese spiced fish – but the ingredients are usually local. Numbers are limited to eight. £25 for three courses with coffee. moelfabansuppers.com

Jelly & Gin

A driving force in Scottish guerrilla restaurants, Jelly and Gin's owner, Aoife Behan, has a suite of pop-up events in rotation, such as Burgher Burger, in which an established chef leaves their restaurant to cook burgers in a greasy spoon. Tickets for Burgher Burger cost £35, often including drinks such as craft beers. jellyandgin.com

The Camberwell Kitchen Supper Club

A gluten-free supper club held in the flat of the organiser, Rosie, and her boyfriend, Ant. Rosie has coeliac disease and is training to be a dietician, so expect nutritious, delicious gluten-free fare. Seating for 14 at one long table. £25 a head for a cocktail, nibbles and three courses. glutenfreerosie.com
