FEASTING: The Bompas & Parr Supper Club
Bompas & Parr’s programme of intimate supper clubs where dining becomes a shared, participatory experience
London, ongoing: The Bompas & Parr FEASTING Supper Club is an ongoing series of intimate supper clubs hosted at the studio’s London headquarters and innovation kitchen. Each edition takes the form of a multi-course sensory experience, using food and drink as a lens through which to explore cultural histories, contemporary rituals and the behaviours that shape how we gather and eat together.
Drawing on research, mythology and the studio’s 18-year practice, each feast is thematically distinct. The programme will respond to specific moments in the calendar or wider cultural imagination, translating ideas into edible form through narrative-driven menus and subtle interventions in dining etiquette.
April 2026: My Lady Nicotine
Extending the world of My Lady Nicotine, the studio’s inaugural exhibition, this one-night supper translates the themes of nicotine as muse, ritual and paradox into a live dining experience.
The menu builds on dishes first introduced at the exhibition’s opening reception, expanded into a multi-course format that plays with flavour, texture and illusion. Dishes include Parfait Cigarettes filled with tofu parfait and mushroom ash, Finger Staining Eggs that leave turmeric traces on the skin, and Smoked Sardines on Toast infused with pipe tobacco. A Berlin Breakfast cocktail of decaf coffee, cherry and cocoa, optionally lifted with mint, punctuates the meal.
As with nicotine itself, the experience is structured through repetition, pause and shared habit. The evening unfolds as a choreography of small actions, where consumption becomes ritualised and social.

February 2026: Triumph of the Tangible
A Valentine’s edition of FEASTING that examined contemporary romance through the senses. The evening moved from the abstraction of AI-shaped intimacy through chance encounters and into the physical immediacy of touch.
Framed around the body, particularly the skin as the largest sensory organ, the meal foregrounded tactility, proximity and interaction. Guests were encouraged to engage with food and each other in ways that emphasise contact, friction and shared experience.
December 2025: Londinium
The inaugural FEASTING event opened the studio’s Barbican space with a banquet inspired by ancient Roman feasting, ritual and excess.
Drawing on historical accounts and common misconceptions, the evening explored the tension between myth and reality in Roman dining culture. Guests encountered dishes rooted in classical foodways alongside playful references to Saturnalia traditions of role reversal, indulgence and spectacle.
