Voices At The Table is a series of curated evenings of readings and performances around food, bringing together an eclectic mix of voices across the literary, performance and food worlds.
For our 5th event of the series, we’ve organised something extra special. Collaborating with Chef Craig Johnson (formerly of Newington Table, Pavilion and Elliot’s), we’ll be serving up our usual mix of readings and performances with an intimate three-course dinner at The Corner Room in Town Hall Hotel, showcasing big flavours with the best British produce. The speakers will sit with guests at long tables, entertaining you between courses.
