Henley Literary Festival Supper Club
We are delighted to announce this year’s Supper Club, held as part of the celebrations marking Henley Literary Festival’s 20th anniversary. This special evening will take place on Wednesday 20th May at The Bottle & Glass Inn in Binfield Heath, a charming village pub known for its warm atmosphere and exceptional food.
Guests will enjoy dinner served on long supper‑club style tables, perfect for conviviality and sharing the pleasures of great food, wine and conversation. The Bottle & Glass Inn’s talented chefs will prepare a delicious multi‑course tasting menu, each dish thoughtfully paired with outstanding wines from celebrated producers around the world.
Throughout the evening we will guide guests through the wine pairings. The night will also feature storytelling and readings by speakers including Simon Williams.
This promises to be a feast for all the senses – a celebration of food, wine, literature, and 20 years of Henley Literary Festival, brought to life by expertise, passion and personality.
