Confession time? Despite the fact that Edinburgh’s had a notable supper club scene for the past few years, I’ve never actually managed to get myself along to one.\u00a0Pfffft, poor show, poor show.<\/p>\n

So, here we go. The chance came along to check out one of the newest SC’s on the block, a cute little outfit called Alright Treacle<\/a><\/strong>. Anna Hamilton is the likable chef at arms, ready with an arsenal of fun themes to keep us supperclub-happy from the autumn through ’til christmas. Lydia Honeybone is the glam ‘mein host’ welcoming everyone with a glass of fizz and a lot of charm. Channeling my inner Johnny Cash (or Model T Ford) I met my friend Emily for their ‘Blackout’ themed dinner, inspired by near-hallowe’en and the weekend the clocks change back. Winter darkness is inevitable, but the warmth of the atmosphere last saturday night is enough to keep me cosy a little while longer. ‘Til the charity shop cashmere gets dragged out, anyway.<\/p>\n

It’s \u00a0part dinner party, part theatre, part secret club. A blast of Veuve Clicquot, colour-themed menu, slugs of red wine and a lot of chat (not to mention a probably regrettable rendition of ‘Little Bunny FooFoo’ – sorry Edinblogger & Bloggette<\/span><\/a>)<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0and you have yourself a pretty fun kind of night.<\/p>\n

The Menu\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scallops, black pudding, cauliflower puree, \u00a0caramelised apple and walnut<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

\n

Seared venison loin, chestnut & celeriac mash, red cabbage, burnt shallot and game crisps. <\/span><\/p>\n

(NB totes artful splash of hallowe’en blood.)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

~<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dark chocolate tart, pistachio ice-cream and black sesame snap<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ingredients were top class throughout the menu (the venison from Bower’s butchers in Stockbridge, for example) and an admirable attempt at a colour-themed, essentially ‘black & white’ menu made it a unique dining experience. Oh, and I must mention how good the crusty bread and whipped seasoned butter were to start. Woof. \u00a0Ok, I thought there was waaay too much chili heat in the chocolate tart for my sissy tastebuds-!danger high voltage!-\u00a0but otherwise thought it was a really good meal. I kind of have a feeling every night is more than a little alright with Alright Treacle, so get yourself along to one of their events pronto!<\/p>\n

Alright Treacle have a whole bonanza of themed supper clubs scheduled between now and the end of 2014. Check out\u00a0http:\/\/www.alright-treacle.com\/<\/strong><\/span><\/a> for more info.<\/p>\n

Thanks so Anna & Lydia for the lovely hospitality.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
