What is a progressive supper?

We start the evening together in one location for canapes and fizz. Last year about 120 people descended upon one beautiful Selborne garden to get the party started.

Then you’ll be told at canapes which small group you are in for starters and which house you’re going to, as we ‘progress’ around the village. People participating in a couple / pair stay together so you’ll be with 2 or 3 different pairs for each course.

At the end of the starter your host will tell you which house to go to next for main course. The process repeats for pudding, then, if you have the stamina, the evening ends as we reconvene in a central venue for coffee - or something stronger - to compare stories of our evening at this unique, communal village event.

Do I have to be a masterchef?

No. Definitely not. If you are, brilliant. If not, cheat -– just hide the boxes and claim all credit! For newbies, a copy of the famous Progressive Supper Cookbook is available to help with suggestions. It is not required to host in your first year unless you are keen.

The organisers will tell all hosts in advance which course they are catering, how many people for, and all dietary restrictions and preferences for your guests.

If you like you can have a monetary contribution for your hosting costs, and the organisers can supply wine, from our friends at the Naked Grape, to help with hosting if preferred.

The cost for each person who participates is £15 per person. If you feel you can only come to canapes then there is an option to do so on the form.
