Featured Entry: #NCSupperClubs
A supper club founded and run by keen cook Nesan Thirunesan, which donates a portion of its profits to charitable causes and seeks to employ single, long-term unemployed parents who are seeking a move into the hospitality industry. Everything that can have a sustainable edge at #NCSupperClubs does: from the cutlery to the crockery, there's a strict ethos on using only eco-friendly and 100% biodegradable products. The aim behind the supper clubs, as well as socialising and having a platform on which to take part in the sustainable and ethical eating conversation, are about educating people on authentic Indian, Sri Lankan and Mauritian flavours.
