Tuesday 15th April 2025: Supper clubs are currently the talk of the town in the UK, as Gen Z swaps dancefloors and glow sticks for intimate gatherings and quality food experiences. Riding the wave of this cultural shift, Rosa’s Thai and Uber Eats have launched the Songkran Supper Club – a limited-edition food experience inspired by Thai New Year, designed to spark meaningful conversations across generations.

This comes as research revealed Gen Z as the best at opening up, with 88% believing it's important to have serious and honest conversations with others. Those born after 1996 have a staggering 12 deep interactions with friends and family per month, with 64% “loving” these types of talks. However, despite Boomers being known as the chattier generation, 20% of Boomers feel "uncomfortable" opening up to others at all about deep topics.

What’s more, while 85% of Brits thinking it's important for younger and older generations to have regular conversations with each other, key barriers which may stop Brits from having deeper conversations with people of different ages include:

• Different beliefs and attitudes (20%)
• No real opportunity to talk to different generations (20%)
• A big difference in life experiences (20%)
• Feeling like they wouldn’t understand me (18%)
• Thinking they won’t be interested in what I have to say (18%)

To help spark those important conversations, Rosa’s Thai is launching exclusive Songkran Supper Club bundles via Uber Eats, available from 14th–21st April. Each four-person meal is offered for the price of two and comes with a set of specially designed porcelain spoons, each embossed with thoughtful conversation starters. These prompts range from bucket-list dreams to reflections on social media and life advice – all designed to bridge the generational divide at the dinner table.

Rooted in the traditions of Songkran – Thailand’s New Year celebration that honours elders and encourages communal meals – the Supper Club aims to bring that spirit of togetherness to UK homes. While the water fights of Bangkok may steal headlines, Songkran is about more than fun: it’s a time for reconnection, reflection, and respect.

With 51% of Brits saying they’re most likely to open up when food is involved, the initiative is a timely reminder of the power of food to foster deeper relationships. In fact, the top places for having a conversation that escapes the banal were revealed to include around the dinner table (27%), in quiet restaurants (23%) or at a pal’s kitchen table (21%).
And with reusable spoons included, these moments of connection can continue long after the Songkran season ends.

The 4 person bundle will be exclusively on the Uber Eats app in select available in Rosa’s Thai locations across the UK, including Edinburgh.

Research also revealed some of the top benefits of having involved chats with people from other generations are they strengthen bonds and create lasting memories (42%) and get more rounded perspectives on big decisions (41%). Nearly four in 10 (39%) of Gen Zs also find comfort in other age groups’ perspectives when times are tough, highlighting the need for conversations beyond the bubble of those of a similar age.

Matthew Price, Regional General Manager, Uber Eats UKI & Northern Europe, said: “One of the most heartwarming things we see at Uber Eats is how mealtimes can bring different generations together. Grandparents sharing their favourite dishes, parents teaching kids how they ate when they were young themselves – these small, everyday moments help preserve family traditions and create new ones. We hope our customers enjoy celebrating together with the Songkran Supper Club."

Saiphin Moore, Founder of Rosa’s Thai added: “Rosa's Thai’s founder Saiphin Moore says “Songkran is the most special time of year for us. It’s all about food, family and feasting. Families of all ages come together to create memories and share recipes through the generations. In Thailand we have a real respect for older generations – they're the heads of the family and centres of their communities.

At Songkran the younger generations pay their respect to Elders by pouring water over their feet and hands, in return for blessings and good luck for the new year. It’s a wonderful ritual and I have so many happy memories of Songkrans past. At Rosa’s we hope to bring a little bit of that special Songkran magic and spirit to the UK.”

TOP 10 BENEFITS OF DEEP CONVERSATIONS WITH DIFFERENT AGE GROUPS:
1. To strengthen the bond and create lasting memories
2. To understand how values and attitudes have changed over time
3. To get a more rounded perspective on big decisions
4. To find comfort in their perspective on tough times
5. To learn how they handle challenges and understand any regrets they may have
6. To gain wisdom about relationships and love
7. To appreciate their outlook on happiness and fulfilment
8. To enjoy their sense of humour and unique way of telling stories
9. To hear their take on friendships and loyalty
10. To learn new skills or life hacks
