When deciding to plan a Middle Eastern theme for 11 March’s supper club, no one could have predicted the awful events that have occurred in Turkey and Syria.
With this in mind, all proceeds from the next Sunnyside Supper Club will be donated to the earthquake appeal.
So please come along, enjoy some great craic, good food and the chance to contribute to a worthy cause.
Sunnyside Supper Club – 10 March 2023
Join us for a night of Middle Eastern food, good craic and the chance to try something a little bit different.
Welcome cocktail on arrival, and you’re welcome to bring your own beer or wine.
N.B. 24 Hour cancellation policy
If you haven’t tried it before, you’re in for a treat. Middle Eastern food pulls influences from along the Silk Road. Flavours range from zingy citrus, fresh herb filled salads to deeply unctuous stews and soups and delicate fragrant desserts.
To make things even better, we’re BYO
Supper Club Menu
Welcome cocktail/mocktail

Main Course
Fesenjan – Persian dish of chicken cooked in a fragrant sauce enriched with ground walnuts and pomegranate molasses
Jewelled Rice

Votes have been counted and the Italian menu has pipped the French menu to the post once again.
If you haven’t been to the Sunnyside Supper Club before, it’s a bit like the Little Paris Kitchen (only in Belfast, and I don’t look anything like the fabulous Rachel Khoo).
Everyone shares a communal table and eats the same menu. The aim is to enjoy some great food and enjoy a meal with new people. Guests are usually a mix of friends on mates dates, people who are new to Belfast and want to meet locals and couples who want to do something a bit different.
We only ever have a max 8-9 guests so book early to avoid disappointment.
We’ll great you with a welcome drink, and then it’s BYO (no corkage)
Italian Menu
Starter – Gnocchi with Hazelnut Pesto
Main – Chicken Marsala, chicken thighs cooked in a creamy mushroom and Marsala sauce, (vegetarian option-Aubergine Parmesan), Italian Salad, Homemade Italian Bread
Apologies, but I have to change the date of the next Sunnyside Supper Club to 10th September.
My little Kitchen Elf and general dogs body (her term, not mine), has been surprised with a romantic weekend away on the original date planned, meaning we have to push things back by a week. Never let it be said that I got in the way of true romance!
In the mean time don’t forget to vote for your favourite menu.

Dessert – Tiramisu

Well the pandemic wasn’t a big pile of craic was it?
Now that things have hopefully calmed down a bit, the supper club is back.
If you haven’t been to one before, we have a max of 8-9 diners and past guests have been a mix of couples, friends catching up on “mate dates” and solo diners who love food but who’s friends just aren’t into eating out. It’s all very laid back and a chance to have dinner people from different walks of life while enjoying some great food (After lock down aren’t you fed up looking at the same people) .
Previous Supper Club
You’ll be greeted with a welcome drink (people are welcome to bring their own beer or wine, with no corkage), and then everyone eats the same 3 courses (we’re happy to cater for vegans/vegetarians, just let us know in advance).
The theme of the supper club scheduled just as lock down hit was decided by a vote. So, I’m putting it to the vote again (in case our taste buds have changed over lockdown). I’m sticking with French Vs Italian.
So check out the menus and vote for your favourite, and we’ll maybe see you at the next supper club.

Hi Folks, I think this week has seen everyone reach peak cabin fever and I’ve had loads of people in the last couple of weeks asking if I have plans to run any more supper clubs.
The answer is absolutely yes! I was really disappointing at having to cancel supper clubs I had scheduled during the lock down, but thankfully everyone working together has meant COVID 19 is in retreat.
Everyone enjoying dinner at a communal table.
If you’ve ever been to the supper club, you’ll know it’s cosy. Part of the ethos behind supper clubs is that everyone sits at a communal table, and this way you get to eat and chat with people you normally wouldn’t do this with. Usually supper clubs welcome mixes of couples, solo diners, and friends who enjoy good food and the chance to meet new people.
Welcome drinks mmmm.
With this in mind, I have to wait until Public Health Agency guidance around social distancing says that its safe to run events like this. The last thing any of us wants to do is risk the health of others.
So, please be patient. Hopefully it won’t be long before we can enjoy getting out “out” again, speak to people we don’t know, and enjoying meals we haven’t had to shop, cook, and clean up after.
As soon as restrictions are lifted I’ll advertise details of the next date. If you have been to one of the pre lock down supper clubs I hope to see you again soon. If you haven’t been to one yet I promise some cracking nights ahead.
I couldn’t decide between menus for the next supper club, so I put it to a vote on Facebook. For a week or two the French menu had a strong lead, but got pipped at the post by the Italian menu. So thanks to everyone who voted.
February’s supper club sold out weeks in advance so remember to book early.
Some of the lovely people at our February supper club.
The menu for the 21st March will be
Starter – Gnocchi with Hazelnut Pesto
Main – Chicken Marsala, (Vegetarian Option-Aubergine Parmesan), Italian Salad, Homemade Italian Bread
Dessert – Tiramisu
The ethos behind the Supper Club is simple. Everyone eats the same menu at a communal table, with the chance to meet new people, chat and enjoy a bit of craic.
Well, the February supper club has come and gone and we had a ball.
February Supper Club
Coming to a strange house to sit down and eat with people you haven’t met before is the stuff of nightmares for some people. However, if you’re brave enough to try something new you’ll enjoy good food and meet some lovely people.
Just some of the dishes from the meze starter, beetroot hummus, Greek salad and tzatziki.
I was really bad, and forgot to take more photos, but to be honest the craic was good and I was enjoying myself too much. We had a fantastic group of guests, conversation was brilliant and among other things some surprising celebrity gossip was shared.
Vegetarian moussaka, not the most glamorous of dishes, but really tasty all the same.
A massive thank you to everyone who joined us. If this sounds like your type of thing give us a try. The next supper club is on 21 March.
