A pop-up kitchen is hosting a one-night-only supper club as part of Glasgow Cocktail Fortnight.
Cafe XO will take over The Social Hub in Glasgow on Friday, October 3.
The event will see chef Andrew Manson deliver a five-course umami-focused tasting menu and a welcome cocktail, all for £35.

Manson said: “The idea behind the menu is to give people a taste of Cafe XO – it’s a celebration of all things umami.
“The food is all about flavour and impact, designed to be simple, flavourful and considered.
“Diners can expect a different experience from your usual restaurant or bar situation.
“Although intimate, I want it to feel casual and informal.
“We really want it to be the ultimate communal final experience.
“It’s about creating an experience that creates surprises and sparks conversation.
“Today, when people go out for dinner, they often leave dessert but for us it’s a key part of the experience.
“We always try to leave a parting moment for guests to remember."
Manson, who has previously worked at Five March, Dakota, Spanish Butcher, Cafe Gandolfi, Gardener’s Cottage and Stravaigin, also spoke about collaborating with The Social Hub.
He said: “If I could drop a Cafe XO kitchen anywhere, the dream backdrop would be The Social Hub.
“It’s exciting, it’s fun, it’s sexy – it’s become the place to be in Glasgow.
“There’s so much going on, so many creative minds in one building, it’s inspiring for me as a cook.
“This takeover is the perfect fit for us, and the perfect time, because The Social Hub is having a moment.
“Cafe XO has always been about collaborating with other creative people and that’s what The Social Hub is built on.”

The event is part of Glasgow Cocktail Fortnight, which runs from September 25 to October 8 and features more than 55 venues across the city offering special menus, events and parties.
Ben McLeod, general manager at The Social Hub, said: “We’ve been fans of Cafe XO for a long time, so it’s exciting to welcome Andrew and the team into The Social Hub for Glasgow Cocktail Fortnight.
“One of the things we love most about the city’s food scene is how collaborative and supportive it is, and this event is a chance to be part of that.
"It’s all about celebrating creativity, connection and brilliant food, which is exactly what The Social Hub is about too.
"It’s amazing that we’ll have Cafe XO on the bottom floor and SiSi, our new rooftop bar and restaurant, just a few floors apart – it really demonstrates the strength of Glasgow’s food scene.”
