FOOD AND EVENTS
I have just recently added food and events to this group thought it would be a great addition to have meals together and attend special events, it's not all about holidays. For dinning and some events there will be a contribution fee to the host, or how else will i be able to afford to host with you lovely lot, especially if am out every week as a host. Thanks to all who understand this, really appreciate it, i spend lots of time posting, researching and creating lovely eatery venues for you all, also running this meetup site is costly.
All meals will be paid up before we dine, as this weeds out the time wasters, who often RSVP, however have no intentions of attending. Looking forward to meeting you all xx

- ESCAPE TO 1950s HAVANA WITH 3 COURSE MEAL UNDER THE STARS, THE LOST ESTATEThe Lost Estate, London£140.00
Join me as we escape back in time to 1950s Havana and enter Tropicana Night-Club, where gods and mortals dance beneath a tropical moon. This is the new Cuban Cabaret Spectacular from The Lost Estate.
See trailer here Paradise Under The Stars
### HAVANA. 1958
Somewhere in London a door has opened.
Step through to 1950s Cuba and Tropicana Nightclub, Havana’s ‘Paradise Under The Stars’, for a night of total immersion—a journey to the very heart of the Cuban soul.
Lose yourself in 3+ hours of cabaret and mambo, electrifying live music, Cuban feasting and frozen daiquiris in 'London's must see experience for 2025' (The Sauce).
This is the club where Nat King Cole, Perez Prado, Frank Sinatra, and Celia Cruz met in rum-soaked splendour. An immersive spectacular by The Lost Estate, three full years in the making.
A line-up of legendary Cuban artists combine to revive Tropicana's golden age. Live music, cabaret, dance and storytelling combine in a spectacular revue of gods and mortals dancing beneath a tropical moon...
In the 1950s, under the eye of owner Martin Fox, Havana's Tropicana Night-Club dazzled the world with mesmerising shows, vibrant costumes, and Afro-Cuban rhythms.
It was the epicentre of Cuban music and dance, a daring hotbed of creativity where American jazz, Cuban dance music, and ancient folklore intertwined.
In 1954, Fox opened The Crystal Arches, an indoor tropical arena that won architectural prizes worldwide and transported guests into a realm of glamour and sensuality, whatever the weather.
Until the Cuban Revolution of 1959, champagne flowed as Hollywood stars mingled beneath the stars. Under the sparkling Cuban sky, music and dance enticed every sense, forging a legend of Latin creativity and opulence.
Now, in 2024, this story is reimagined by the visionaries behind The Lost Estate, collaborating with a line-up of legendary Cuban artists to revive Tropicana’s golden age.
Show starts at 1pm
Matinee Performances: Doors and bar open at 12pm. No admission after 1pm. Will wait outside for 10 minutes before going in.Experience timeless recipes and theatrical storytelling with chef Ash Clark's kaleidoscopic journey through 1950s Cuba. Havana street food meets decadent fine dining.
