OmVed Winter Supper Club: Dry January & Veganuary Celebration
Led by Josephine Marchandise and Georgia Dowling, our first Supper Club of the year is rooted in the theme of "listening as care", celebrating thoughtful, creative low-waste cooking that responds to the land, the season, and the people it nourishes. The menu draws on wild and native ingredients grown in our permaculture garden, preserved in our kitchen, and sourced from local farmers.
Each supper is a multi-sensory journey from seed to plate, shaped by attentive listening to soil, plants, and processes, and featuring over 70 varieties of plants. This deeply conscious approach to how food is grown, prepared, and shared invites a slower, more connected way of dining. Watch this behind-the-scenes video to see how we bring hyperlocal, seasonal food to the table.
The evening will also feature a special guest, OmVed Gardens Artist of the Month Claudia Biçen, who will introduce the ideas and artwork behind The Forgotten Teachers, offering an inspiring and reflective backdrop to the dinner.
What to expect:
- A wonderful 3 course "fine dining" vegan meal.
- A welcome herbal concoction on arrival
- Non-alcoholic drinks will be available for purchase throughout the evening.
- An opportunity to meet like-minded people in a unique shared table setting
- A colourful display by our artist of the month and evening special guest, Claudia Biçen
