Flavour and generosity, at one table
Eat well. Do good.
Cilantropy hosts supper clubs, cooking classes and community feasts where every seat at the table helps put a meal in front of someone who needs one.
One seat booked, one community meal shared. Every time.
Experiences
Four ways to gather
Supper clubs
Seasonal menus served family style at long tables, in kitchens, courtyards and borrowed dining rooms.
Hands on cooking classes
Small groups, sharp knives and real technique. You cook the meal, then everyone sits down to eat it.
Corporate and team events
A private kitchen for your team, with a shared task, a shared meal and a shared result at the end.
Community feasts
Open tables run with neighbourhood groups, where the guest list is the whole street.
Plan your table
Build the evening, seat by seat
Choose an experience, tell us how many chairs to pull up and pick a date. The summary updates as you go.
2. Guests
Up to 60 guests per sitting.
3. Date
Sittings run Thursday to Sunday.
How it works
Simple to join, easy to host
Every Cilantropy evening runs the same way, whether it is six friends around a kitchen island or sixty colleagues in a hall.

Our chefs shop the market that week and cook on site, so the menu follows whatever is best right now.

A meal is shared
For every seat booked, a meal is prepared in the same kitchen and passed to a local community partner.
The giving model
You book, we cook, a meal is shared
The giving is built into the price of the seat, not bolted on at checkout. Nothing to opt into, nothing to round up.

- A community centre lends its hall on a Sunday and the feast is cooked for the whole street.
- A chef with a quiet Monday hosts a class, teaches six people to braise and fills the pass twice over.

Illustrative, to show who Cilantropy is built for.

Corporate event planners
Anyone looking for a team evening with something to do, something to eat and something to show for it.
Community organisations
Groups with a hall, a hot plate and a neighbourhood worth feeding.
Chefs who want to host
Cooks with a night free and a menu they have been waiting to put in front of people.
About the name
Cilantro, meet philanthropy
Cilantropy is a coined culinary name that reads as a blend of cilantro and philanthropy, joining flavour with generosity. Coriander is the herb that divides rooms and finishes almost everything; generosity is the part that makes a meal worth remembering. The name holds both.
It is short, easy to say once you have heard it, and it tells you what the table is for before anyone sits down.
