Mangia! Mangia! Supper Club (Gulp, Birmingham)

Saturday 25 June, 7pm

Guests can expect a delicious, five course Italian menu*, utilising a mixture of Italian and locally sourced or grown ingredients (*vegetarian options are available). Gulp is a private dining room in a Grade II listed building in the heart of Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter. Gulp provides a beautiful setting for supper clubs, corporate away days and meetings; private celebrations; filming and photoshoots.

Matt O'Callagham writes about, grows, teaches and cooks British and Italian food. Mangia! Mangia! (Eat! Eat!) was born out of Matt’s friend Giovanna who begins every meal shouting to whoever is at her table in Palermo. It started when Italian friends in the UK, Rome and Sicily claimed that you could never cook proper Italian food in the UK, because we can’t grow the fruit and veg, and Matt decided to prove them wrong and now produces bitter greens, artichokes, quinces, Neapolitan tomatoes, aubergines, and on and on, from his south Birmingham allotment, before turning them into traditional Italian meals and preserves.

Matt's writing has received praise from Nigella Lawson, Rachel Roddy and Diana Henry.
