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 6th event of the series, we’re heading to Second Home Spitalfields for our biggest event to date. Join us for an evening of food and entertainment, drawing together writers, actors, editors, poets, chefs, novelists and broadcasters to explore the joys and complexities of the culinary world.

Plus, to tie in with the entrepreneurial spirit of Second Home, we’re collaborating with some of our favourite up-and-coming chefs and start-ups. Sip on cocktails from Our/London, Lurvill’s Delight and Nonsuch Shrubs, and feast on Brazilian pí£o de queijo from Dona Rita, savoury bites from pastry chef Henrietta Inman and incredible ice cream sandwiches from Happy Endings.
