Near Bath & Frome Five courses + canapés Seasonal & sustainable
A supper club with a conscience

Good food, cooked the kind way.

Bathelona is a little supper club run from our kitchen near Bath. Five courses plus canapés, cooked from ingredients that are sustainable, local, foraged and saved wherever we can. Pull up a chair, and maybe stay the night.

The idea

We cook seasonally, and sustainably.

Morgan and I love good food, and we love that it can be kind to the planet too. So we cook with what's in season and close to home, foraging where we can and saving lovely ingredients that might otherwise have gone spare, often through Too Good To Go, and turning it all into something worth sitting down for.

The menu changes every time, because we cook with the best of what we find that week. That's the fun of it. You never quite know what's coming, only that it'll be seasonal, generous, and made with proper care.

It isn't a vegetarian supper club, though there's always a proper veg option, not an afterthought. Just honest food, a full table, and the quiet satisfaction of a good meal that didn't cost the earth.

Who we are

A transatlantic couple who cook.

We're Ben and Morgan, from Bristol and LA respectively, brought together by a shared love of incredible food and restaurants, great wine, art and music.

We love Italy especially, but very much enjoy the rest of Europe and much of Asia and Africa too. Those travels are what inspire much of the cooking at Bathelona. While Bathelona is a terrible pun, it tries to reflect lots of influences, you'll often find Thai, Indian, Spanish or Greek creeping in, among many others.

Our other great love is our Tibetan Terrier, Stanley Pucci, recent winner of Most Handsome Male at the Richmond Dog Show. He normally goes everywhere with us. Don't worry, he's hypoallergenic.

“This was just magical. Ben and Morgan greet you like long lost friends, and I laughed out loud when I met Stanley Pucci, the most adorable, friendly pooch. If animals take after their owners, then that's definitely true here. The food was a serious treat, a pair of well travelled foodies who know how to cook delighted our taste buds. This is absolutely something I will be doing again with a bunch of mates. It was an absolute pleasure to be welcomed into your home.”

“We had the most fantastic meal at Bathelona. The food was as good as any fancy restaurant I've been to and was beautifully presented. A huge amount of care and thought went in to the menu, which was like you'd expect in a top class restaurant. We started with a tomato tartare topped with a quails egg, which was beautiful. One of the highlights for me was a chilled cucumber and tahini soup, which was simply delicious while my husband loved the homemade pasta in an amazing sauce. The meal ended with a fantastic marmalade ice cream. We couldn't believe that food of this quality was created from ingredients going to waste. I'd absolutely recommend it as a unique and different night out. The hosts are great fun and the atmosphere is very relaxed.”

“Loved the mission from the moment we booked. Discovering we were in for perfectly prepared tomahawk steaks was a highlight, especially paired with a beautiful bottle of Château de Beaucastel and an exceptional scallop ceviche to start. Ben and Morgan are truly wonderful hosts, warm, engaging, and effortlessly charming. Their stories from travels around the world add an extra layer of richness to an already memorable evening. Every detail felt thoughtful, every moment enjoyable. We loved every minute and are already looking forward to coming back.”

The practical bits.

Please do, and there's no corkage. We're a BYO supper club for now, so bring whatever you fancy and we'll take care of the glasses and the pouring.

There's always a full vegetarian menu, cooked with the same care as everything else. Tell us about any allergies or things you can't eat when you book, and we'll build your evening around them.

£50 per person for canapés and the five-course menu. If you'd like to stay over, dinner, bed and breakfast for two is £230, or take the whole table for up to 10 at £500. You can pick your night and pay in the Book a seat section.

We're on the edge of Beckington, near Frome, about 20 minutes from Bath. There are four bedrooms if you'd rather not drive home, and we'd honestly recommend it.

Once a month to start, with 8 to 10 seats each time. Fill in the form below with your preferred date and we'll come back to you to confirm your seats and sort payment directly.

Arrival is from 6pm. Come and settle in with a drink and a few canapés before we sit down together, there's no rush. There's lots of free parking right here at the house, so no need to worry on that front. We'll let you know if a particular evening runs any differently when we confirm your date.

Life happens, we understand. Cancel up to one week before your supper and we'll refund you in full, no questions asked. Any later than that and we've usually bought the ingredients and turned other guests away, so we're not able to refund, but do talk to us and we'll always try to help.
