Seasons II
We are so delighted to have had Fran Currie back at Potter & Reid for another mouth-watering, plant-based Supper Club. We had a 3-course seasonal meal inspired by the very best locally-sourced seasonal British autumn produce, focusing on flavour, texture, colour and innovation. Eating vegan food doesn't need to be boring, and she showed us that vegan food is a lot more interesting that you might think.
Fran showcased her favourite dishes to eat and to cook inspired by the flavours of the Mediterranean with a seasonal and modern British twist.

Northern Soul -
Sophie Squidge
Lancashire's culinary landscape blends traditional meat-and-pastry-heavy dishes with evolving, regional cuisine. Rooted in a working-class society, affordability and hearty meals take center stage. Leaving Lancashire broadened Chef Sophie Squidge’s culinary horizons, introducing international cuisines. An internship at St John marked a pivotal shift, emphasizing quality produce and techniques amplifying ingredient richness. Now, she is embarking on a pop-up venture, the focus is on locally sourced ingredients and establishing connections with producers. She is shining a light on the Lancastrian immense dedication, portrayed through a teaser short film.

Following their last sold-out supper club, we're so thrilled to host their next pop-up at Potter & Reid!
Picture this: a cozy gathering of friends, amazing Singaporean & Malaysian food, and great vibes. They’ll be kicking things off with their family recipes and they promise it to be, as they call it in Singapore, a very 'SHIOK' experience you’ll remember. All their produce is sourced from local farms in Kent.

Angie & Varun cook with love and are heavily inspired by the flavours and stories they’ve picked up along the way. They love sustainably sourcing local producers and suppliers where they can. They believe in the magic of sharing our food family-style, the way they grew up eating in our own communities.

We had a great time celebrating our End of Summer Party on Saturday 30th September to boogie away an incredible year for us at Potter & Reid. The night included a curated wine list from our favourite producers, yummy cocktails from Black Lines Cocktails (Tommy’s Spicy Margaritas & Spiced Rum….), some delicious open-fire food from our friends at Stok Grills, and banging tunes from the best @marie___guyot!

Inspired by their cultural heritage (Chinese-Australian and Indian), Angie and Varun brought an explosion of flavours into our little café as they created playful twists to the flavours they grew up with.
Little Sambol
In July 2023, Gabriella from Little Sambol took over our kitchen for a night. Her Sri Lankan-British heritage forms the heart and soul of Little Sambol. Growing up with the vibrant tastes and aromas of her homeland, she developed an unwavering love for Sri Lankan cooking.
Guest Chef
Series
In June 2023, we hosted Dixie and Punam, two incredibly talented female chefs at Potter & Reid as part of our summer supper club series. Both women brought an incredible feast that celebrated their heritage and explored their family roots through food. Heidi Nam Knudsen (A Thousand Decisions) selected some exclusive wines from some of the leading women in winemaking to accompany each dinner. It was fabulous.
Beija
The powerful all women run lingerie brand joined forces to run a campaign around change in attitudes towards female bodies and the oversexulization of the lingerie industry. Social media posts are either rejected or later removed for “violating community guidelines” due to “Adult” or “Sexual” content. As all women ran coffee and food business we were super excited to partner with Beija. We catered canapes for 100+ guests for the evening, bubbles were provided by Pale Fox Prosecco and @theladiesmusic played banging tunes.
Khao Supper
Punam has been hosting supper clubs since June 2018 and this July we joined forces to celebrate five years of Khoa Supper at Potter & Reid. The roots of Khao Suppers lies in the story of its founder, Punam Vaja. A born and raised East Londoner, growing up with strong Gujarati influences is what drives the core of the dishes they serve. This humble celebration was intimate, a communal dining setting and a community of like minded people who enjoy tasty food.

Chef Eleni Thoma at Potter & Reid curated some special plates and pumpkin agnolotti with sage butter.
