SYRIAN SUPPER CLUB – THURSDAY 26TH MARCH

 

The Syrian Supper Club was started in 2012 by a group of friends in London wanting to do something positive in response to the humanitarian crisis in Syria and show that friends they had met there had not been forgotten. Since then suppers have taken place all over the world with more than £300,000 raised for the Hands up Foundation which focuses on funding sustainable projects in and around Syria. These projects deliver vital health and education services while simultaneously providing livelihoods and strengthening the stability of local communities. For more information, please see www.handsupfoundation.org.

HOSPITALITY & MENTAL HEALTH – THURSDAY 5TH SEPTEMBER

We want to promote healthier workplaces, strong support systems and open conversations around mental health.

 

The evening will start with a coffee cupping at 6pm. There will be coffees from a number of local roasteries to try as well as nibbles from the bakery.

 

This will be followed by a discussion about the rewards and challenges of working in hospitality led by a panel of people from a variety of backgrounds. There will be ample opportunity for questions and input from everyone. This is designed to be a safe space to talk openly about issues affecting mental health and how we can support ourselves and each other.

LUNCH FOR A LUNCH – MONDAY 29th JULY

 

Summer holidays should be an exciting time for school children, however with thousands of children in Bristol relying on free school meals the long break can be really tough. The extra strain of added food costs, activities and child care can mean hard-working parents struggle to provide nutritious meals for their children. As a result, children in Bristol face going hungry this summer.

 

When we heard about the campaign between Feeding Bristol and FareShare Southwest to supply and fund over 40,000 meals we knew we had to help. In such a prosperous and food rich city the idea that children (and their parents) may go hungry is unthinkable.

 

We will open for lunch on Monday 29th July (just this once – we are normally closed on Mondays!) and ask people to donate at least what they would normally spend on lunch. Our chefs will be cooking up one delicious dish (v/vg/gf options) plus a drink served canteen-style from noon until its gone so bring your friends, colleagues, neighbours and get there early!

 

Cash and card donations welcomed. Every penny will go to help make sure that no child goes hungry this summer

TSUKEMONO – SEASONAL FEASTS

 

 

Tsukemono have been delighting Bristol diners with their Japanese inspired street food at market stalls and pop ups for a couple of years. Founders Iris and Adam have been looking for an opportunity to share even more of their love of Japanese cuisine and culture with a series of more elaborate and intimate events. We are delighted to be hosting them at the bakery on the following dates;

 

Summer: Sunday 2nd June 2019 – FULLY BOOKED

Autumn: Sunday 8th September 2019

Winter: Sunday 8th December 2019

Spring: Sunday 29th March 2020

 

The supper club’s summer edition will feature a multicourse menu designed to satisfy all hot weather cravings, catering for ethical omnivores and vegans alike.

 

Highlights include the ultimate summer treat Kakigori, a Japanese shaved ice dessert flavoured with an exciting range of syrups and Kushikatsu, a deep-fried delight on a skewer and staple of Osaka’s street-food scene. The menu also boasts mackerel sashimi along with a vegan sashimi consisting of seaweed cured heritage carrot.

 

But it doesn’t stop with the food. Tsukemono’s Adam Hartshorne is a trained printmaker and has created a series of limited edition prints that diners will be able to take away as a keepsake.

 

Adam says “I’ve always been fascinated by the rich history of Japanese printmaking. The prints, like the food, are inspired by the seasons. Both are really transient experiences and we hope we can provide people with something memorable.”
Diners that make it to all four supper clubs will have a little seasonal print collection of your own.
