Making hay while the sun shines

Well its been a bit quiet in our dining room over the last few months, due to the ongoing COVID19 pandemic.

Unfortunately we had to cancel all the dates we had booked, and are unsure when we’ll be able to safely restart our supper club.

We’re hoping that it’ll be the summer of 2021, but due to the intimate nature of our events around our communal dining table We’re keen to hang fire until we can go ahead in full sail as the whole evening is as much about the ambience and dining experience as it is the food.

But in the meantime we’ve been taking the opportunity of some downtime with the dining room to do a bit of decorating.

Now those of you that have already attended one of our supper clubs will know we’re quite keen to keep the decor of the dining room a secret, so it remains a surprise for new attendees, this is why the pictures of our improvements are a little cryptic.

Because we’ve had such a long stretch to complete the refurb, we’ve pulled out all the stops, we’ve freshened up the paint, renewed the curtains and even popped a new carpet down. Don’t panic though we’ve been careful to keep and enhance all the bits you know and love.

I’ve spent many hours up the scaffold tower like Michaelangelo painting the ceiling, and Odile has been busy carefully selecting fabrics and carpet as we’ll as making sure all the colours match.

Of course it goes without saying we’ve also been playing in the kitchen with some new dishes too.

So we’ve been making the best of the situation, as the old farming saying goes, make hay while the sun shines.

The dining room refurbished is now complete and it only felt right that we should take it for a test run…..so last night we ran a very special supper club for two! We had a fabulous evening pretending we we away and even stayed in the spare room! It was such fun that we’ll do a blog post on it soon.

We can’t wait to welcome you back to the Secret Passage Supper Club as soon as it’s safe to do so, but until then take good care of yourselves
