There's something about events with a 'secret' location that seem to get everyone excited - we've seen it in Bristol with the marketing of festivals and raves to keep an air of mystery that draws cool people like a magnet. I'm a bit less enthused by the idea, but having been invited to Butcombe's Secret Supper Club, I felt intrigued to give it a try.
The only information aside from the date and time was that it would be hosted by chef Neil Rankin, and would be in a central Bristol location. On the morning I had to ring a mobile number, to be met with a pre-recorded message informing me of the location that night.
As you might expect from Butcombe, it was a pub and upon arrival the bar was filling up with students and post-work drinkers. I awkwardly leaned over the bar to ask where the 'secret supper club' was and expected to be met with a bemused look, but was instead given a knowing nod and instructed to head upstairs.
