They are unlicenced restaurants - no advertising etc - just word of mouth - great food but these places are not being checked for health & safety etc.

Rebel Restaurants if you like. 

It's not legal, but it exists in this country.  I guess the difference between this and a large dinner party is that money is exchanged and you don't know the other guests necessarily.

Hi Dave,

I think these underground restaurants are a brilliant invention. Been reading alot about it lately. Here are some links. I would go to these places if living in london or New York.

Lots of these underground cooks are keen amateurs or chefs of established places who want to try out new things.

EDIT : Facebook gives a wealth of info ( most of these places have a facebookaccount to make bookings possible).

Hi Frizz, insurance wise all the guests in these kind of places are insured when something happens. It's like when you have some friends over for dinner and one of them would get ill by food you prepared then your insurance company will cover this.

Exactly what I was thinking Frizz!! If we would not live so far away from each other I'd certainly invite you.
