Public Diners: Pop Up Supper

What are public diners? Public diners are state supported, affordable restaurants serving quality food to the general public. They operated under the banner of 'British Restaurants' in the 1940s and 50s. They also exist in different forms across the world today: Polish milk bars, Singapore Hawker Centres. Read more about public diners here.

The pop up suppers: We are taking the movement for public diners across the country with a series of pop up suppers.

We invite you to the public diner conversation by joining us for our first supper at Civic House. We want to think together about how these diners should look in our future:

What’s on the menu? What are the prices like? Canteen style? Table service?

It will be part public diner simulation; part movement building conversations – all of it will be centered on good food in good company.

The supper will include:

- Dinner and dessert served by Parveen’s Kitchen

- Live music performance

- A sneak peek into our upcoming exhibit on public diners

Payment

Think of buying this Eventbrite ticket as purchasing your public diner membership card (like you would a bus pass). You can purchase a standard or concession fare. If these prices are a barrier to your attendance, please send us an email to receive a free code.

Bring along your “membership” (tickets) on the night and enjoy your public diner. There is also the option to pay on the night (we just ask that you register your interest here so that we can get an idea of numbers).

For all enquiries email Abigail: [email protected]
