The Hotel Supper Clubs - Recipe Collection

Top Tips - for hosting a hotel supper club

Getting the right ingredients

Mmmmmm… remember how good your meal tasted but struggling to find where you can source the right ingredients? If you can’t find a specific product in your local supermarket, try asking your local butcher, fishmonger or deli as they should be able to recommend an alternative that will work instead.

Cocktails and Dreams

Your guests will want to wash that amazing meal down with something just as tasty. Think about what you’re serving and research what wines would compliment the meal – remember white for fish and red for meat. Why not start off with a round of cocktails to help get the evening started – think back to the tipple that tickled you on holiday!

Setting the right tone

This is key for recreating the holiday experience – think back to the music you heard on holiday and how much it helped you to relax. Whether it was chilled out tunes in Mauritius, or Middle Eastern pop from Dubai – it’s worth compiling a playlist of music to take you right through the evening to keep the conversation flowing

Atmosphere

Berber style dining or BBQ by the beach? You might not be able to bring that experience back to life but candles, flowers and even the table setting will all go a long way to help your guests understand just what a great time you had! A few cleverly placed items like single stem flowers can do the trick when it comes to setting an atmosphere.

Entertainment

If you want to do something really special for your guests, why not consider some entertainment for the evening? Be it belly dancers, Bajan drummers or a New York inspired jazz band – you’re sure to create a night to remember. On the other hand, you might want to opt for some low key entertainment in the form of board games.
