Dinner Party on the Tube...the new way of entertaining!

9 years ago

Established in early 2013 by Olivia Sibony and Siddarth VijayaKumar, Grub Club is a one-stop shop for informed foodies, looking to experience unique dining adventures.

Part dining table at home and part experimental kitchen, each Grub Club event brings like-minded people and places together – enhanced by a little chef-led creativity.

Grub Club is dedicated to bringing unique experiences to life through pop-ups and supperclubs, hosted by a range of chefs – from talented amateurs to Le Cordon Bleu trained to Michelin starred – often in interesting and obscure spaces. It also acts as a platform for new and aspiring restaurateurs looking to bring their ideas to market.

Since conception, Grub Club has promoted events across London. The concept is simple; chefs and their host venues create an event and upload it onto the Grub Club site. Once approved, Grub Club promote it to an already widereaching, informed database of foodies who then start making reservations. Grub Club also facilitates introductions between chefs and venues keen to host an

event.

Olivia and Siddarth met by chance in 2010 when they were both living and working in South India for a year. A lasting friendship was quickly established and once back in London, their shared love of food, travel and meeting people quickly sealed their destinies when Grub Club was born.
