Merienda Club
A modern Filipino supper club — at merienda time.
Merienda Club reimagines the Filipino merienda as a curated social experience for the UK Filipino community and friends of Filipino food. Expect elevated flavours, great vibes, and meaningful connections — all in one relaxed afternoon.
This edition showcases Filipino food at its finest, led by an exciting lineup of chefs and home cooks shaping the Filipino food scene:
✨ Chef John Zamuco of Piraso
Chef Patron John Zamuco is the culinary force behind Piraso, bringing with him nearly two decades of passion, discipline, and refined skill.
✨ Sweet Kneads home cooks Joey Lyn and Paul Uychocde
Joey Lyn and Paul Uychocde, the husband-and-wife duo behind Sweet Kneads. Their baking journey began during the pandemic in Dubai, sharing Filipino cheesecakes with hospital colleagues before growing through word of mouth. Now based in Birmingham, they continue to share homemade cakes and breads inspired by Filipino flavors, bringing comfort, nostalgia, and a taste of home to the community—each bake made with heart, heritage, and love.
Beyond the food, Merienda Club is about connection. Enjoy interactive activities, including a Filipino pub quiz and playful icebreakers, designed to spark conversation, laughter, and a sense of community.
Whether you’re craving a taste of home or discovering Filipino food for the first time, Merienda Club is where great food, good energy, and people come together.
