After a two year break, we are so excited to get together once more for an in-person event as we fundraise for Mobile Refugee Support and asylum seekers in our local area. Join us for a warm evening of solidarity and exchange with refugees and individuals who have been forcibly displaced from their homes.
SUP? Supper Club will be breaking bread to build bridges during an evening exploring the culture, cuisine, and culinary traditions of Yemen and more widely the Middle East, with our chef for the evening, Ahmed. We have had the pleasure of supporting Ahmed since his arrival in East London at the end of 2020 and after hearing many tales of his time as a chef in Yemen and Malaysia, he can't wait to share his culinary skills with you all.
