The Chatham Dinner is an ode to the Chatham House in London. In our version, we offer you to host an evening with community and serendipity at its center. The format is communal style dining among strangers with the intent of fostering connection. Meant to be intimate, no more than 12 guests are in attendance. This offers an opportunity for the hosts to facilitate encounters that might not otherwise happen. Trust and privacy are paramount for honest, open conversation and guests are encouraged to refrain from repeating what is discussed with those not in attendance. Smartphones are therefore not permitted during the dinner. Guests are presented only by name; no titles or positions. Choosing between our in-house chefs or those from our global network, the menu and dinner is designed and planned by the hosts and carried out by THE GATE Service GmbH team.
