DUBAI SUPPER CLUB: MEET THE GUEST CHEFS JOINING AROUND THE TABLE AT APRONS AND HAMMERS PALM JUMEIRAH

Why I'm Bringing Some of Dubai's Most Exciting Chefs to Palm Jumeirah This Summer 

One of my favourite parts of working in hospitality is meeting talented people.

Over the years, I've been lucky enough to spend time with chefs from all kinds of backgrounds and culinary styles - from chefs running intimate supper clubs and neighbourhood favourites to those leading some of Dubai's most exciting kitchens.

What I've always loved about these conversations is how passionate they are about sharing their stories through food.

It’s one you settle into.

A Look Inside The Aprons and Hammers Supper Club on Palm Jumeirah, Where Guests Come Together for Chef-led Seafood Dining and Shared Table Experiences

And for a while now, I've been thinking: 

"How do we bring more of that creativity and energy to our community at Aprons and Hammers Beach House?" 

Palm Jumeirah has an incredible community. We have residents who travel the world, food lovers who are always looking for something new, families who spend their weekends with us, and regular guests who have become friends over the years. 

I wanted to create something special for them. Something more intimate than a brunch. 

More personal than a restaurant collaboration. Something that brings people together around one table. That’s how Around the Table, Aprons and Hammers’ new supper club series, was born.

Starting on Saturday July 4, and culminating in a special finale event on Saturday August 29, we'll be welcoming a handpicked lineup of chefs to Aprons and Hammers Beach House for a series of one-night-only dining experiences... 

These aren't chefs chosen from a list. They're chefs I've met, followed, admired, and genuinely wanted to cook for our community. Every one of them brings something completely different to the table. 

Supper clubs are becoming one of Dubai’s most exciting dining experiences, and across the summer, guests will experience five very different culinary perspectives, from Peruvian coastal cuisine and British seafood classics to Vietnamese flavors, German reimagined cuisine, and a Mediterranean-inspired finale.

What is Around the Table, Aprons and Hammers’ new summer supper club series?

Around the Table is Aprons and Hammers’ new summer supper club series, bringing together five chef-led dining experiences on Palm Jumeirah throughout July and August. Guests enjoy:

• A multi-course tasting menu

• Welcome drink

• Meet-the-chef experience

• One-night-only seafood-inspired menus

• Community dining atmosphere

Events start from AED 300 per guest.

Meet the Chefs 

One of the things I'm most excited about with Around The Table is introducing our guests to chefs they may not have discovered before.

Each chef brings a completely different perspective to seafood, which means every evening will have its own personality, flavours and atmosphere.

Jatin Suri | Casa 21

Peruvian Coastal Flavours

I wanted to open the series with energy, colour and bold flavours, which is exactly what Jatin brings to the table.

His cooking draws inspiration from Peru's coastline, where fresh seafood, bright citrus and vibrant ingredients come together in dishes designed to be shared and enjoyed over long conversations.

It's the perfect way to begin our first Around The Table season.

Join us on Saturday July 4 as Jatin opens the series with the vibrant flavours of coastal Peru - Call +971 56 238 1677 to book your seat around the table.

Lisa Vo – Haus of Vo

Vietnamese Coastal Flavours

Lisa's food is full of personality.

Inspired by family recipes, Vietnamese heritage and a passion for bringing people together through food, her menus are vibrant, fresh and incredibly flavourful. I knew she would bring something completely different to the series, and I can't wait to share her food with our guests.

Join us on Saturday, August 1 to discover the fresh, vibrant flavours that have made Lisa's cooking so loved. Call +971 56 238 1677 to book your seat around the table.

German Reimagined Cuisine

Robin is one of those chefs who constantly pushes boundaries.

His approach is thoughtful, creative and highly detailed, transforming familiar ingredients into something unexpected. For Around The Table, he'll bring his contemporary perspective on seafood, creating an evening that feels immersive, surprising and unlike anything else in the series.

Chef Sperxos – The Dish

Mediterranean Seafood Reimagined

To close the series, I wanted a chef who could bring together everything Around The Table is about - great ingredients, creativity, storytelling and a sense of occasion.

Alex's modern interpretation of Mediterranean cuisine makes him the perfect finale. His cooking celebrates the flavours of the Mediterranean while adding his own distinctive touch, creating dishes that are both familiar and exciting.

Together, these five chefs represent exactly what Around The Table is all about: different perspectives, different stories and unforgettable food experiences brought together in one place.

Chef Sprexos closes the series on Saturday August 29 with his modern take on Mediterranean seafood. Call +971 56 238 1677 to book your seat around the table.

“Around The Table” More Than a Dinner 

What excites me most about this series isn't just the food. 

It's the people. 

The conversations. 

The chance to introduce our community to chefs they may not have experienced before. 

The opportunity for guests to sit together, meet new people, ask questions, hear the stories behind the dishes, and enjoy something genuinely different from a traditional restaurant experience. 

In many ways, it's a return to what hospitality is supposed to be. 

Bringing people together.
