How it works


The Rules

Every month, I will cook Sunday Lunch for six people somewhere in the UK.

I'll be at every lunch, probably with my husband or a friend there to help me manage the logistics. 

I will provide a three course lunch adhering to any dietary requirements (I'm a pretty good cook I promise)

The other guests will be people who are (mostly) new to me.

Over lunch, we'll talk about a series of topics suggested in advance by the guests.  We might agree, or disagree, we might find answers, we might not. But (I hope) we'll talk honestly and openly about our experience of the world.

 When lunch is finished, we're all free to leave with no obligations to each other beyond those we choose.

There is no charge for attending - it's a free lunch in exchange for the pleasure of talking with you.

I'll use this blog as a way of recording the events and the topics we talk about. It might become an art project of some kind. Or it might not. I'm not sure yet.

To apply to be a guest:

Anyone can ask to be one of the other guests - In fact if you're reading this - please do come along!

I will select each month's guests based on the information they send to me. I'll choose the guest list with an eye to getting lots of different kinds of people in the room and prioritise people I haven't met before.

Because it can be a bit scary going to meet a bunch of strangers alone, guests can apply to attend in pairs as long as they complete an application for both people.

Please use the contact form on this page to send :
  1. Your Name, contact phone number and email address
  2. A little about who you are
  3. A question or topic you'd like us to discuss over lunch
  4. Any dietary requirements
  5. If you're applying as a pair, please let us know who you'd like to attend with or submit both applications in one message.
  6. The date of the lunch you'd like to attend (see the column to the right for dates and locations)  
  7. If you have any problems using the contact form, just email me at  rebecca[at]arch468.com
I'm approaching this like a long-term art project so I'll probably take a couple of photos and may make an audio recording of our conversation over lunch. If you're not cool with that please let me know when you apply.
