OctoberFeast has done much to bring 'pop-up suppers' to Lewes and it’s great to
see regulars offering events outside the festival. The ‘In Residence’ supper club on
South St is offering both grown-up events and children’s dining on the first Saturday
of the month all summer. [facebook.com/InResidenceSupperClub] Kabak are hosting a
special ‘Feast in the Forest’ on the 15th, promising more outstanding Middle Eastern food in
Laughton’s picturesque Lower Vert Wood, see tabl.com. Café du Jardin are enjoying their new wine cellar,
and will continue their ‘Regions of France’ series with a three-course menu on 22nd July. The Feature
Kitchen team up with Pestle & Mortar to offer tantalising Thai takeaway on 14th, 21st and 28th July.
Next up, birthdays. Birthday wishes to Cheese Please and also to the newly-named Lewes Friday Food
Market, turning seven this month with a special edition on the 28th. They’re bringing more new traders in
including, this month, The Sweetarian and Picnik Brighton, and will soon be the place to pick up your
favourite Tina’s Kitchen lunches. Tina is stopping her café trade this month to focus on workshops and
nutritional therapy come September.
