Membership

Do I have to work in the City to join?

You do not necessarily need to work in the City, but should have an interest in meeting people who do.

Is it a singles club?

Supper and the City is for everyone. We host many different events from networking evenings, dinners for unattached professionals, cocktail parties, games evenings (e.g. poker and backgammon), as well as film and wine and cheese tasting events.

As a Member do I have to put my picture on the website?

You can 'hide' your picture from other Members and unhide it when it suits you.

Will people be able to see my age?

No but we need to know your age for Membership purposes e.g. it will ensure you are placed and have access to the correct 'groupings'. Other Members will not be able to see your age or other personal details such as address and phone number. The only way they can contact you is to send a message from their personal Supper and the City Message box to yours or through the Message Boards.

How discreet is Membership?

We take privacy and confidentiality very seriously. We never release your details unless you specifically ask us to.

 

Events

What are your Events and Parties like?

We host Events to remember! Ones that you will look forward to and look back on as special occasions. Our Dinner Parties, late night dancing Events and cocktail evenings are held in well-known, fashionable restaurants, hotels and exclusive private member clubs. They all provide a high standard of food and service, and most have live music or DJ's for those who want to dance late into the evening.

What is a typical Dinner Party like?

On average there are 30 guests but this can vary between 12 for an intimate dinner to a gathering of up to 70 people. Dinner Parties start with a drinks reception where you are introduced to everyone by your Supper and the City host. Guests are then seated according to a table plan. After the 'starter', all male guests swap places by moving two male places to the left. They move again after the 'main' course. This means that you will sit next to six people of the opposite sex during dinner. After dinner guests are free to socialise until the early hours.

How long does a Dinner Party last?

Usually around four hours, with drinks at 7.30pm and finishing just before midnight.

What's the ladies/ gents ratio at Dinner Parties?

At every Dinner Party we do our best to ensure there are equal numbers of men and women. For other Events this may not always be possible but we aim to keep the numbers balanced.

What about smokers / non-smokers?

We do not discriminate against smokers. However, we encourage our guests who smoke to be considerate during dinner to those that do not smoke.

Is there a dress code for Dinner Parties?

Yes. It depends on the event and details can be found on the 'information' page of the Event.

Can you accommodate dietary preferences?

Of course we can. Just inform us of your dietary preferences / restrictions after you book an Event.

Are all your events Dinner Parties?

No. Although Supper and the City is primarily about the Dinner Parties, we also organise social evenings, cocktail parties, late-night dancing parties and one-off events at, for example, Cartier Polo, Henley Regatta and Wimbledon Tennis.

 

Payment

How much do events cost?

The cost of an Event is included in the Event information section, which is reached by clicking on an Event in the monthly Event Calendar. Prices are all-inclusive so, for example, the cost of a Dinner Party usually covers a pre-dinner drink, three-course meal with wine, coffee, VAT and service. The details for each Event will specify what the price includes. Prices do vary from dinner to dinner.

Can I pay by cheque/cash?

Unfortunately we do not accept cheques or cash. Purchases can only be made through our website with a credit or debit card.

General

What is the cancellation policy for events?

We are unable to accept last minute cancellations as the quality and success of our Events would be compromised. However, if you are able to provide us with at least 72 hours notice via email or telephone, we will do our best to move you to another Supper and the City event. If we are able to move you to another event, you will be charged an additional £10 administration fee. We may offer a refund in exceptional circumstances.

Can I bring a friend to an event?

You are welcome to bring a friend to an Introductory Cocktail Party but only Members can attend Supper and the City Dinner Parties.

How do I collect my event ticket?

After you have purchased your tickets you will be sent a booking confirmation via email. You will then be sent an e-ticket which acts as your proof of purchase, so you need to print it out bring it with you to the Event. Your name will also be added to the event Guest List so that when you arrive, entry to the Event will be straightforward.

How do I unsubscribe from Newsletters?
