A SELL-OUT foodie experience is making a comeback - but this time with a taste of Christmas.

The supper club was introduced at the Cockermouth Taste festivals earlier in the year and will be offered again as part of the Taste Cumbria Christmas event.

Hosted by Alec Anderson from Takeaway@Home, the new dining experience will take place on Friday December 9.    

It is part of the festive foodie experience at Taste Cumbria Christmas, which runs from Saturday 10 and Sunday December 11. 

After starting out at The Balmoral in Edinburgh, then one of the top Michelin-starred restaurants in Scotland, Alec spent the past two decades working in restaurants and cafes across the UK and Australia.

In 2020, he worked as a volunteer with the Greysouthen Village Hall preparing pre-cooked meals for vulnerable residents shielding during the pandemic.

After this, Takeaway@Home was born, offering locals an alternative to a traditional takeaway providing creative menus in the comfort of their own homes. Alec now has a thriving business that uses local produce and suppliers.

The Supper Club will take place at Cockermouth Cricket Club and offer a five-course meal for £35 per head.

Tasty vegetarian options will be available with some of the best ingredients the local businesses can supply. Guests will also be treated to a welcome cocktail and receive a handmade festive gift from Keswick-based Cakes from the Lakes. 

The Supper Club took place for the first time at the festival’s flagship event in Cockermouth in September and was a huge success.   

This is an exclusive event with only 35 tickets available. And they are fast selling out, so get your seat at the table by booking now.
