BOOK AHEAD: One.World Supper Club

Interiors company One.World is hosting a supper club at its store in Parsons Green on Thursday 10th and Saturday 12th March – tickets are expected to sell out quickly, so it’s worth snapping one up now. Private chef Rosie Smith (aka Rosie & Ripe) has teamed up with southwest London deli The Butchers Table for a tasting menu that celebrates seasonal produce cooked over fire. The menu is strictly under wraps, but if One.World’s last supper club is anything to go by, you can expect dishes like slow-roasted lamb with flaked almonds, sourdough with grilled courgettes, and beetroot and goats cheese salad. Tickets cost £65pp.
