January is quickly becoming one of the most interesting months to eat out in London and beyond. As restaurants lean into collaboration, creativity and one-off experiences, supper clubs and temporary chef takeovers have emerged as the perfect antidote to predictable post-Christmas dining.

From tasting menus to under £100 to late-night pop-ups, these January supper clubs turn a simple meal into an event. Limited in dates and big on atmosphere, they’re the tables worth booking now before they disappear.

1. Em The Nutritionist x Dinings SW3

For a more daytime take on the January supper-club spirit, Jiyo 滋養 is a limited-edition lunch collaboration that feels perfectly in step with the new-year mindset without tipping into restriction. Running from 7–31 January, the three-course menu is created by Dinings SW3’s chef-owner Masaki Sugisaki in partnership with renowned nutritionist Emily English, blending Japanese-inspired cooking with a nutrient-led philosophy centred on nourishment and enjoyment.

Priced at £35 for three courses, the menu opens with a collagen-rich miso broth (with a vegetarian alternative), followed by a superfood chirashi poke bowl layered with omega-3-rich fish, grains and vegetables, before finishing on antioxidant cacao truffle bites. Comforting, thoughtful and quietly indulgent, Jiyo is designed to refuel rather than deprive and is available in-restaurant for lunch or via Deliveroo until 6pm.

When: 7 – 31 January
Where: Walton House, Lennox Gardens Mews, Walton St, London SW3 2JH

On 29 January, CORD joins forces with Barrafina for an exclusive four-course dinner that celebrates Spanish cooking at its most confident. Executive Head Chefs Antonio Gonzalez Milla and Francisco Jose Torrico bring together Barrafina’s most iconic dishes alongside CORD’s signature plates, creating a menu that showcases bold flavours and a shared culinary heritage. With just one sitting at 6:30pm, it’s a rare chance to experience two of London’s most respected kitchens working together for a single evening.

3. The Nut Tree Inn x Galvin Green Man

This month, The Nut Tree Inn and Galvin Green Man come together for a two-night-only menu exchange that brings two of Britain’s most respected pub kitchens into conversation. Taking place on 15 January in Chelmsford and 29 January in Oxfordshire, the collaboration sees chefs from both venues cooking side by side on a four-course menu that showcases their shared love of refined, produce-led British cooking. Priced at £85 per person, with optional wine pairings, it’s a rare chance to experience two celebrated kitchens and two distinct settings in the heart of winter.

4. The Restaurant at Sanderson London

From 30 January, Sanderson introduces Hotori, a late-night supper club taking over the restaurant every Friday and Saturday. Designed as an immersive pop-up rather than a traditional dinner, Hotori blends bold, expressive flavours with carefully crafted cocktails and a high-energy atmosphere that builds as the evening unfolds. Expect beautifully presented dishes, a strong sense of theatre and a dining experience that naturally drifts into the night. It’s ideal for those looking to make dinner plans a bit more memorable.

When: Fridays for lunch and dinner + saturdays for dinner from 30 January
Where: 50 Berners St, London W1T 3NG
Price: TBC

5. Straits Kitchen

Straits Kitchen’s Express Lunch offers a refined alternative take on the supper club format, ideal for those looking to elevate a weekday lunch. The weekly changing tasting-style menu begins with three vibrant sharing plates, followed by a generous main course that reflects the kitchen’s globally inspired approach.

Menus evolve with the freshest seasonal ingredients – from delicate seafood starters to bold, comforting mains. Think dishes along the lines of tuna carpaccios and Cornish crab papperdelles.

6. Badiani

At Badiani Chelsea, supper club dining takes a playful turn with an exclusive Gourmet Gelato Tasting Menu paired with Italian wines. Held in the intimate setting of the Chelsea shop, the evening guides guests through six small courses, including four savoury gelato flavours never before served in the UK, each matched with carefully selected wines or bubbles. Finishing with a refreshing sgroppino, it’s a unique, design-led experience that blurs the line between dessert, dining and theatre.
