Public Diners: Pop Up Supper

We have public hospitals, public libraries, even public wifi.

Why not public diners?

What are public diners? Public diners are state supported, affordable restaurants serving good meals to the general public. They operated under the banner of 'British' and 'Civic' Restaurants in the 1940s and 50s. They also exist in different forms across the world today. Read more about public diners here.

The pop up suppers: We are taking the campaign for public diners across the country with a series of pop up suppers. We want to think together about how these diners should look in our future.

We invite you to the public diner conversation by joining us for supper at the Rowett Institute in Aberdeen. The Rowett Institute was responsible for a nutritional survey of the British Restaurants in Scotland in the 1940s.

National exhibit: This supper will also host a national exhibit that showcases the history and potential future of public diners. It will then be hosted by Aberdeen Central Library from the 27 June to 11 July.

Please arrive from 6:00pm to take a look around the exhibition, and join us for dinner at 6:30pm. The evening is expected to finish at 8:30pm
