Paris Rosina's supper clubs offer London's sex workers a stigma-free feast

Paris Rosina is hosting supper clubs in London with a focus on creating a welcoming space for sex workers. The events, designed to combat stigma, offer a mix of comfort and indulgence. Tickets start at £40, ensuring accessibility for lower-income guests and paid community assistants. Rosina began her culinary career after leaving school, first working at Dusty Knuckle bakery. By 2021, she launched her first pop-up event, blending playful presentation with hearty dishes. Her menus often feature stuffed foods like dumplings, cream-filled jellies, and chicken wings, served on mismatched crockery and vintage jelly moulds.

Each month, two supper clubs take place—one exclusively for sex workers. The evenings include entertainment, such as burlesque performances by Miss Angel Bella. Tonight’s event kicks off with fried potato canapés, paired with Wright’s Wines pét-nat and Showerings Cider, followed by dishes like saffron mussel risotto. Rosina has no plans for a permanent venue but aims to expand the supper clubs to Paris and New York. Her approach remains rooted in allyship, offering a space where guests can enjoy good food without judgement.

The supper clubs provide a regular gathering for London’s sex-worker community. With affordable ticket options and a focus on fun, Rosina’s events continue to grow in popularity. Future expansions will bring the same mix of comfort and celebration to new cities.
