What happens
Eat. Watch. Talk.
Each evening lasts about 90 minutes round a table: in a host's home, or at The HUB. There's a meal, a 15-minute film shot right here in West Wickham, Bromley and Shirley, and a relaxed conversation.
Watch
A short film with Jon, Sara and Stuart, shot on our own streets. It pauses halfway so you can chip in.
Talk
Honest conversation, hosted rather than lectured. Say as much or as little as you like.

BringYourself, and a friend if you like
I've been invited to someone's home. What should I expect?
A warm welcome, a simple meal and a handful of other guests. Your host and a co-host from the church will be there. You'll watch a short film together and chat. You can leave whenever you like, and you never have to share anything you don't want to.
Do I have to be a Christian?
Not at all. Most people who come aren't, and plenty never will be. You're welcome exactly as you are.
Will I have to talk?
Only if you want to. Some people listen for weeks, and that's fine. Hosts never put anyone on the spot.
Can I bring a friend?
Please do. It's easier to walk in with someone you know, and we'll sit you together.
What if I miss a week?
No problem. Each evening stands on its own, and your table will be glad to see you back.
Is there a daytime option?
We’re hoping to run one for parents during school hours. Choose the daytime option when you sign up and we’ll let you know.
Host a table
Got a table? Open it up.
Room at the Table is made for homes. Invite a few friends or neighbours, cook something simple, press play. The films do the heavy lifting, and a co-host from church sits with you.
