Old school Shanghainese home cooking and street food
Lillian decided to quit her corporate job paper-pushing and finally pursue her life-long passion in food. Growing up in Shanghai with a grandmother who was a fantastic cook and a culinary fountain of wisdom in the neighborhood, Lillian had her first lessons on eating well at home, even though back then China still had food rations. Through her many moves and travels around the world, Lillian really honed her talent as a skilled eater. But alas, good eating jobs are hard to come by! Encouraged by her friends to take up cooking instead, Lillian decided to share her grandmother’s home cooking and hard to find Shanghainese street food with the lovely people of London. And with that, Shanghai Supper Club was born in 2014!

Food is served family-style at a communal table to be shared among the guests, and there are plenty of it. You can come alone or bring a group to make up your own table. It will be like attending a dinner party at a friend’s house, so expect a relaxed atmosphere and be prepared to lend a hand to pass the food around the table. There is a cash bar on site so drinks can be purchased on the night. Please note this is not a BYO event.
