Soirée Society
Larger-than-life group feasts with major party vibes
Food, wine, candles, music, crockery, florals… welcome to foodie heaven, with a side of delicious chaos.
Soirée Society Supper Clubs are one-off dining events at ever-changing venues across the Bay Of Plenty.
Open to everyone (if you’re quick enough to nab a ticket!), Soirée Society is an epicurean experience with one simple goal: to gather a cool bunch of people together to chat, connect, and devour a feast in a special location.
Soirée Society isn’t your average Supperclub.
It’s a high energy, slow eating affair where food is key…
But so is the vibe.
Think lavish banquet meets Nonna’s loud & messy dinner table. There’s LOADS of food, free-flowing wine, upbeat music, colourful tablescapes, open conversation, uninhibited laughter, and many “ooooohhhhs” and “ahhhhhhhs” as dishes are passed around and plates are licked clean.
(Basically the opposite of a quiet dinner for two in a fancy restaurant.)
The next RDT Soirée Society event is…More is More
DATE TBC
More is More is a maximalist Supperclub - It is about big flavours, big colours and big vibes. This Supperclub celebrates individualism through bold flavours, a creative tablescape and a banger of a menu.

What to expect
Every Soirée Society event has its own theme, but always with a surprise menu — giving you the opportunity to relinquish control and trust the foodie gods (aka me) to deliver a spectacular assortment of eats.
Will you try something you’ve never tasted before? Hopefully.
Will there be something for everyone? Definitely.
Whether you come alone (do it!) or with friends, you’ll leave feeling connected, buzzed and part of the community.
FAQs
-
Yes — you might find a RDT Supper Club at one of my fav Tauranga restaurants, then the next under a marquee overlooking the ocean. Variety is the spice of life, after all.
-
Nothing special. Just yourself, an empty stomach, and a willingness to chat & eat.
-
Each event has a set menu, and all dishes are served ‘community style’ on large sharing plates. There’s no need for food envy because you’ll get to try everything! It’s sort of like a wedding, only better (because you don't have to bring a present).
-
That’s all fine and dandy — every menu will have gluten free, dairy free and vegetarian options. In saying this, it pays to choose the Supper Club event that suits your taste buds and dietary preferences. Sometimes we may do a full meat menu, and the next time a full vegan menu.
Please note: this event may not be suitable if you have severe anaphylactic allergies. I can’t guarantee against cross-contamination as it’s not my kitchen I’m cooking in.
-
No — Soiree Society is quite a different thing altogether!
Soiree Society = a communal vibe and menuless experience (‘trust the cook’ styles). Come alone or with friends, sit with a bunch of cool people and enjoy a variety of food. It’s fun, it’s loud, it’s connected.
-
Absolutely. I know it can feel intimidating walking into an event by yourself, but a RDT Supper Club is the perfect place to pop your solo dining cherry. You’ll find nothing but welcoming faces.

Wherever you want! Grab a chair at one of the big shared tables and dig in.
