London: Supper clubs are all the rage, especially among Gen Z. Instead of hitting the bars, they’re opting for cozy dinner parties at home. These gatherings, often hosted by professionals, offer a fun and affordable alternative to traditional nightlife.

Experts like Elizabeth Tan from WGSN Insight say these supper clubs are a hit because they create a trendy atmosphere without the hefty price tag. BI chatted with a few seasoned hosts who shared their secrets for a successful evening.

Aidan Brooks, who runs his supper club Eleven 98, emphasizes the importance of letting conversations flow naturally. He’s a chef with a background in fine dining, but he knows that while he can control the food, the vibe at the table is something he has to let happen organically.

Then there’s Punam Vaja, who’s been hosting since 2018. She believes sharing personal stories about her dishes helps guests connect with the food. It’s all about authenticity, and when she opens up, it makes everyone more willing to try new things.
