SUPPER CLUBS

FLOWER WORKSHOP + DINNER

Wed 30 SEPTEMBER • 6pm • £80

Come and join Nia from Luvshifting Flowers and Tara from Southsea Coffee for a seasonal flower and food evening held at Southsea Coffee.

After a welcome drink or a glass of wine, Nia will show you some designs, and you’ll learn some techniques and a bit about LuvShifting Flowers’ love of seasonality. You’ll make a gorgeous seasonal bouquet similar to the one in the picture, which you’ll take home with you.

Tara will talk about her love of seasonal food, her allotment, then we’ll eat roast squash, ricotta and sage cannelloni with brown butter, hazelnuts and crispy sage, followed by warm apple and almond cake with cider caramel and crème fraiche ice cream.

We’ll enjoy our food round the table together and have a lovely, chilled chat.

Here’s a review from our first evening.

‘I had a wonderful time at the first-ever Flowers & Food night! Nia provided all the flowers, and Tara (of Southsea Coffee) brought all the flavours! First off, Nia gave us some fabulous little tips for imaginative floral arrangements before showing us how to create a beautiful bouquet of spring flowers. I learned the names of all the flowers (I am not green-fingered at all, so enjoyed showing off my newfound knowledge to friends later!) and had a lot of fun constructing my very own (rather lopsided, but I didn’t care) spring bouquet. It took pride of place on the table. There are still a couple of ranunculus (ranunculi?) and some mimosas holding their own. I loved being a part of the whole evening, which ended with the most delicious tagine! Thank you Nia! What a brilliantly beautiful evening it was!’

Discover Ethiopia through coffee, processing and taste.

Join us for an intimate, guided coffee cupping exploring the incredible coffee from Ethiopia.

Throughout the evening, we'll taste a selection of Ethiopian coffees processed in a variety of ways. By tasting them side by side, we'll explore how different processing methods can influence the character of a coffee, from sweetness and acidity to fruit character, body and fermentation.

We will guide you through the tasting, explaining what happens to a coffee from cherry to bean and how each stage of processing can influence what we experience in the cup.

This is a relaxed, hands-on evening designed for anyone who enjoys coffee and wants to understand more about what makes each cup taste the way it does - no previous coffee knowledge or cupping experience is needed.
