The experience

Not a restaurant.
Not a pop-up.
A proper dinner.

Twenty people. One long table. A working farm courtyard in Hertfordshire. Five courses cooked with care by someone who's spent seventeen years in some of the UK's most celebrated kitchens.

An evening built around good food, good company, and nowhere else to be.

Twenty seats. No second sitting.

David Batala
6+ yrs

Your chef

Meet David —
the chef behind the table.

David's cooking is rooted in classical French cuisine, influenced by Japanese flavours and elevated through modern techniques.

He began his culinary journey in the UK just around the corner from Leavened, at The Fox at Willian — a formative chapter that shaped the local, seasonal ethos that still runs through everything he cooks today. Over seventeen years he's trained in some of the UK and Europe's most celebrated kitchens — Coworth Park under Adam Smith, Driftwood Hotel under Chris Eden, and Field Restaurant in Prague under Radek Kašpárek.

For the last six years David has been working as a private chef to VIP clients across London — cooking at the level of the world's finest restaurants, in the most intimate settings. His food is built on local ingredients sourced from trusted farmers, fishmongers, and butchers — relationships built over years.

The venue

Leavened, at Lannock Farm.

Leavened is one of Hertfordshire's most beloved artisan bakeries — a working farm with a courtyard, a community, and a reputation for doing things properly. Their sourdough is made on site daily.

For one evening in June, the farm courtyard becomes a private dining room. Twenty guests, one long table, candles, and the kind of atmosphere that only exists in a place like this.

Easily reachable from London and surrounding areas. Full directions sent with your booking confirmation.

Can I transfer my seat if I can no longer make it? +

Yes — seats can be transferred to another guest. Email us with the new guest's name and any dietary requirements at least 48 hours before the event. All sales are final and seats cannot be refunded.

How do I let you know about dietary requirements? +

When a seat opens up for waitlist guests, there's a dietary requirements field to fill in. David will accommodate where he can — please note this is a set tasting menu, so significant substitutions may not always be possible. If you have a severe allergy, email before confirming so we can chat.

How do I get to Lannock Farm? +

Lannock Farm is in Weston, Hertfordshire — about 40 minutes from central London by car. Full directions, parking info, and a map link arrive in your booking confirmation.

What should I wear? +

Come as you are — the setting is relaxed and the evening is meant to feel that way too. Casual is absolutely fine. Wear whatever you feel comfortable in.

Will there be more supper clubs after this one? +

There are no further supper clubs planned at the moment. That said, if the response to this one is strong, we'd love to explore what comes next.
