White Room Supper Club

It's almost Christmas Time

2011-10-31T23:01:00.003Z

One more dinner this week - then a 2 weeks holiday and soon it will be Christmas. The dates for the festive dinners are posted. It's a bit to go -but they are popular - so book quickly. Also if you fancy a night with your friends or colleagues - away from the bust restaurants -why not book an evening at the WhiteRoom. No table turn around - no boring food - even an indoors smoking corner - nothing a restaurant can offer at that the busy time of the year. Email me for bookings for the suppers or if you want more info on a private X-mas dinner!

Finally a bit of Sunshine

2011-09-04T23:08:00.005+01:00

Finally sunshine arrived and diners could enjoy their pre-dinner drinks and Canapes on the balcony. Hopefully we will get some more Indian Summer evenings later this month. Dates and menus are out for the next 2 events. And then at the end of the month and beginning of October there will be two dinners around seasonal mushrooms. Already thinking of appropriate desserts.

Hope to see you aropunf doe a fabulous night soon. If you need more convicing please check out the latest blog post: http://blog.guestaurant.com/

Summer (?) Dinners

2011-07-23T12:43:00.008+01:00

Despite the fact that I had to switch on the lights a couple of times at the start of the dinners in this so-called summer, guests in July enjoyed great evenings with summery food. Cod Saltimbocca on braised marrow is what you see on the right and a selection of strawberry desserts on the left.

Still hoping that in August summer will finally arrive and people can enjoy their pre-dinner drinks on the balcony. There are still some spaces available for August 4 and 11. And here again the little TV feature: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y29un_sB_F0

Exciting Times

2011-07-02T18:32:00.011+01:00

Last month has been exciting. The White room supper club was featured on TV - it is in German but looks good. The link is below - check it out.

Another great adventure is the catering I am doing until July 16 for The Secret Consul an amazing guerilla opera in Limehouse Townhall. Come and check it out and have some Quiche or Cake from my kitchen.

And of course also the last few suppers were very exciting. Guests enjoyed the food and the company.

White Asparagus came to London

2011-05-24T16:22:00.005+01:00

During this months the WhiteRoom hosted 3 dinners around German White and English Green asparagus. Not only soups, quiches and Asparagus with Hollandaise were on the menu but the WhiteRoom offered Asparagus Ice Cream and Mousse for dessert. It was great to see reaction to the recipes - some of the guests had never tried the white variety and some from the continent loved to get their favourite seasonal fair.

The White Room's 1st Birthday

2011-04-13T11:55:00.008+01:00

Last month the White Room celebrated its first birthday twice. Both nights were a great success. People enjoyed each other's company and of course the food. On the coming weekend there will be 2 Easter Dinners - with all the decorations. And then on Easter Monday there will be an informal Easter Brunch. Buffet Style - the German way - lot's of homemade baking to be expected ;-).

In May it will be Asparagus time again - thanks to the German Deli I will be able to offer fresh German Wahlbecker Asparagus - which was a success in the first year. In Germany every restaurant will have their menus designed around this delicacy during May - so the WhiteRoom will once again follow it's ethnic roots. Hope to see you soon - email me if you have any questions or want to make a booking.

Latest News

2011-02-20T23:34:00.003Z

Okay - I have to admit I am better in cooking than blogging. Looking at the date of the last post people could think I am not running the supper club any longer. But there have been lots of dinners in between then and now. Lot's of festive fun in December and already 3 dinners in 2011. And in March the White Room turns 1. Two celebration dinners are set up for that occasion. And then in April the famous Easter Feast including Egg Tree and all the other trimmings will be back for 2 nights.

For now I have put the new dates on here - but generally I recommend to check the WhiteRoom out on Facebook or to get added to the mailing list. Email me at whiteroomsupperclub@hotmail.co.uk.

Hope to see you soon!

September Dinners

2010-09-17T21:40:00.003+01:00

Last weekend was the end of the summer break - first dinner was a great success. Guests enjoyed a Courgette Soup, followed by pickled mackerel on fennel salad, Quail from Smithfield - thanks to MarkyMarket and a rose wine and raspberry sorbet on panna cotta. And although everyone was very full, no one could resist the little pralines after dinner.

i am really looking forward to tomorrow - the Sage Ice Cream is divine. The rest to be prepared in the morning- Cod, Scallops, Leeks, Mackerel, Melon, Sage - that's the flavours.

Empahsize on the countries I lived in: Australia, South Africa, Germany and of course, England. But maybe some more bits and pieces.
So coame along and check it out. So far all dinners were enjoyed by the guests, always a good crowd and nice food.

Easter Dinner - Chicks and Bunnies stars of the night

2010-04-05T21:07:00.006+01:00

Yes, for the Easter dinner the White Room went colourful. Complete with Egg Tree and little chicks and bunnies all over the place. And what a success - after a few glasses of wine the guests emerged in playing with all the little buggers - they were even named. But besides that the food went down well as well. Also here lots of detail - bunny shaped bread rolls and creme cheese canapes. Not to forget the amazing white chocolate Easter Egg for dessert. So now the wait begins for the Fish and Seafood Dinner on April 17. Will have to come up with a new theme to keep the guests entertained.

Photos of the Second Dinner

Again - there was no time to take pics of the Starter and Mains - there were delicious and well presented though. Looking forward to the Easter Extravaganza

Another Dinner over

2010-03-19T00:31:00.003Z

What an exciting day - got up early for all the preparations - was ready much too early as usual. The long wait for the people to arrive - but all 10 of them turned up almost in time. And although I was a bit worried about having one group of 6 and 2 groups of 2 the mingling was perfect. The bigger group actually split up around the table to allow for more socialising. The food went down well - lovely soup and then the venison followed by the honey parfait - most plates came back completley empty - and while working in the kitchen I heard lots of laughter. Besides having to be at work at 6am in the morning guests left jsut before midnight. I would call that a success!!

Venison for this week

2010-03-15T17:45:00.003Z

Just oredered the venison from MarkyMarket - will get delivered straight from Smithfield Market. A recent hike to the local supermarket brought most of the other ingredients in - so just left with the fresh veggies, fruits and flowers on Wednesday. It's a shame that I do not get some of the food to eat as well...Anyway - 2 places left for Thursday - please email to book!

Some Pictures of the first Dinner at the White Room

2010-03-05T18:39:00.004Z

It's done

2010-03-05T00:06:00.004Z

First night over - was much easier than expected. People had good fun, enjoyed food and company. I was so surprised - the group seemed to be a big mix of ages and backgrounds but everyone stayed for about 2 hours after dinner finished - exactely what I liked to achieve with the concept - so the venue definitely works out. I loved it. What a great thing to do!

Opening Night

2010-03-04T17:24:00.002Z

It is so exciting - 2 hours before the guests arrive - obviously as usual panicked today and all the preparation is finished already. Now it's just waiting. At least 2 out of the 10 guests are friends to give me moral support. But still - although everything went well and looks good - will people like it? Watch out - for the latest news tomorrow. Will take pictures!
