welcome to our table

We are a private dining & hospitality group based in Hendersonville, NC. We partner with local purveyors to create unique, seasonal dining experiences for your next special event. 

Classically trained & with over 25 years of industry work between us, we offer dining experiences that celebrate NC produce with European technique & careful menu design. We specialize in multi-course tasting menus served in your home. In short, we transform familiar surroundings to a restaurant for the evening! So you can be a guest at your own party.  

We get excited about a challenge... if you can conceive it, we'll make it happen. Consider booking F&N for your next special birthday, friends trip, or Tuesday with your favorite foodies! 


We can't wait to meet you!

Hi! We’re Friends and Neighbors Group.

what do we do?

We love to create & fiddle & edit. 

Our focus is intentional dining that celebrates WNC's seasonal produce and caters to your specific vision.

And so! each F&N event is totally unique, curated for you & yours alone.

our services

  • curated dinner parties

    We cover all the details during a F&N Dinner Party- down to the linens, table styling, and service ware. Better yet, we take care of all the dishes.

    From intimate family-style parties to inspired tasting menus, the Friends & Neighbors team can transform your home into a restaurant for the evening

  • pop-ups

    2024 is the year of Friends and Neighbors Pop-Ups.

    As we prepare for our eventual brick & mortar restaurant, we are putting our hearts and energy into creating some very special events in the Southeast.

    We love collaborating with all kinds of venues, including breweries, farms, wine shops—you name it and we’ll be there.

“We thought we were hiring private chefs…F&N brought the whole restaurant.”
