Are you a chef or a foodie who loves to cook and is up for the delightful challenge of working your magic at the Boardwalk deck on Lund Harbour one Wednesday this summer ?

We’ve been offered this opportunity once a week, as the Boardwalk closes every Wednesday to give their staff a deserved night of rest.

This stunning location has a lovely deck overlooking the harbour and room for you and your creativity assuming this challenge calls to you.

If you were to present your fixed price menu to 30 to 50 people, what would you create ?

To apply or inquire simply drop us a line. You can also nominate a friend and we’ll follow-up.

Lund is the end of the road in paradise, access to Desolation Sound and the Salsih Sea. If you’re local to qathet all the better, and if you’re in BC looking for a fun night of culinary sharing that too can work.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Drop us a quick note today

We hope you’ll join us in Lund harbour at the Boardwalk.

Foodies love foodies… makers need tasters as much as eaters need chefs…

Come taste the talent in our community, good food created by local foodies for local foodies and friends, not necessarily professional chefs.

Here in Lund a closed restaurant offered their space allowing the Italian Peasant pop-up to feed 27 friends and neighbours in January.

Now offering a pop-up once a month at the Boardwalk in Lund.

Other venues are possible too, the venue does not have to be a restaurant. It could be a field or barn, it could be anywhere.

Usually by suggested donation, we price the menu to cover costs, and maybe contribute to a local cause, paying the chef and support team, sharing any profit between those doing the work, the host establishment and the cause.

There may be occasion where we have to cancel or reschedule if not enough seats are filled.

We support local farmers and growers as much as possible, and contribute the building fund for our village community centre to expand the community kitchen, so we can put more delicious fresh local food in local people’s bellies.

For the love of food and good company.

Join us and/or contribute by offering to chef, assist, provide a venue ~ or simply enjoy good food… See you soon.

Known for their spectacular location, endless sunsets and fish an chips.

Who wouldn’t want to enjoy a relaxed meal with this view.

Such a treat to sit overlooking the water and harbour enjoying great food year round, enjoying the harbour, wildlife and tranquility of this marvellous community.

Owners Rayana and Roy are such community minded folks, they’ve embraced our simple proposition of local foodies cooking for friends and neighbours.

Although initially conceived during lockdown as a way to reconnect and eat out, we’re happy to say they’ve agreed to continue with a night or two a month as it’s fun, allowing them a rare day off.

Thank you both for your kindness, encouragement and guidance in enabling Dinner with Friends, our Lund pop-up in your wonderful location.

A true mark of community supporting a good idea, and helping bring it to life.

Most Lundies know that our Lund Community Society (LCS) is working with qathet Regional District (qRD) on a new building to expand the community centre on Larson Rd.

A combination of new building to replace the Old Lund Hall with gym/theatre/multi-purpose space, and an upgrade to the commercial kitchen in the current building the old school and NSRC, North Side Recreation Centre.

In the image, 1 trough 5 are the new building and 6 is the kitchen expansion in the existing building.

The kitchen upgrade will allow local producers to preserve food, and prepare dishes for the wider community. The new building budget includes the physical upgrade, yet funds are needed to equip it fully to meet the diverse needs of local growers and makers and creative foodies.

You do not have to join us for dinner to donate, and each of our pop-up dinners encourages a donation, with any profits from the event shared with this LCS kitchen upgrade.

Thank you for your support in keeping food local, and ensuring more local food stays in the community.

Feeding our neighbours and friends.
