Five Key Rules of Brunch Book Club

Do read your emails. We provide all information you need for the book discussion and brunch ahead of time, straight to your inbox. If your question isn't answered or you need further information please contact the team via the website or send us an email at Brunchbookclubldn@gmail.com. Please add this email address to your contacts so it doesn't go into your junk. If you haven't received the email please check your junk.

Do read the book. We are first and foremost a book club. We get it, sometimes you don't have time to read, or you dislike the book so much that you can't bring yourself to finish it. Either way, do try to read some of each month's book so you can contribute to the discussion.

Do be yourself. Want to wear your cozy Sunday brunch pjs? Disagree with the rest of the group on the book? Let your unique voice and personality shine through. We want to hear what you have to say and who you are! This includes what your drink of choice is - whether that's sparkling water, five espressos, or bottomless Blood Mary's.

Do make new friends. Each brunch is an opportunity to meet someone new, so sit next to someone you haven't met before! We might have a seating plan for brunch, but drinks are a free for all! London is a diverse city and we've gathered the best of the best so make sure to mix it up, network, and toast to your shared brilliance.

Do communicate. We look out for each other. While we may not all travel in or leave together, we always ensure each of us is safe. So, if you're running late or leaving early, please let us know by messaging the WhatsApp group!
