On Monday 18th May, Nessa Soho will host a 1960s Supper Club and Gin Tasting in partnership with Ramsbury Gin, capturing the decade’s shift towards a more relaxed, sociable and indulgent dining culture. As Britain emerged into a new era of optimism and global influence, food became as much about experience as it was about sustenance, with dinner parties, cocktails and shared tables defining the moment.

As the hero dish of the decade, Nessa will serve a classic Beef Wellington, a quintessential dinner party dish in the 1960s. Alongside this, guests will be served a feasting menu, celebrating the bold, evolving flavours of the 1960s through a contemporary lens, with dishes such as Oat Soda Bread, Smoked Salmon Crudo and a whimsical Rhubarb and custard trifle. Accompanied by bespoke cocktails that reflect the era’s elegant pours, including the mint-laced classic Grasshopper and a crisp Freezer Martini.

The evening will centre around a guided Ramsbury Gin tasting, offering guests the chance to sample a curated selection of British gins. Long woven into the fabric of British culture, gin experienced a stylish revival in the 1960s, evolving from its working-class associations into an emblem of modern sophistication, perfectly reflecting the decade’s energy, creativity, and shifting tastes.

A celebration of flavour, atmosphere, and cultural change, the 1960s Supper Club offers a nostalgic yet elevated glimpse into a defining decade of British dining, with Nessa’s creative twist.

Future decades will see more creative collaborations with personalities encapsulating the quintessential British identity and creativity in different forms, with more information to come closer to the time, more information HERE.
