We specialise in fun times,’ laughs Laura Jackson. ‘We’re just two normal girls inviting you to our place to eat, hang out and listen to great music all night.’

Well, not that normal. By day, Alice Levine is a BBC Radio 1 DJ who hosts the 1pm-4pm slot on Saturdays and Sundays, while Jackson has presented for T4, the ITV2 Take Me Out spin-off The Gossip with Mark Wright and backstage at festivals. ‘Snoop Dogg once introduced himself to me as Mr Dogg,’ she says.

The Jackson & Levine bi-monthly supper club serves up three-course seasonal feasts, such as radish and mooli salad with truffle oil dressing and slow-roasted lamb with salsa verde from Jackson’s warehouse loft in Hackney.

But don’t expect to be rubbing shoulders with their famous friends, such as Nick Grimshaw or the TOWIE posse. The girls are fastidious about allocating the £25 tickets on a first-come, first-served basis, announcing dates via their Instagram feed. ‘For our first event, even Laura’s boyfriend Jon [Gorrigan, a fashion photographer] had to buy a ticket. He essentially paid to eat dinner and help wash up in his own house.’

Jackson, 29, met Levine, 28, at a charity jumble sale, hosted by mutual pal the DJ Gemma Cairney, while flogging their wares. They shared a love for honest, unfussy cooking: ‘You’d never catch us making a jus,’ says Jackson, wrinkling her nose.

When they are not preparing food themselves, they like to eat out with their other halves (Levine’s boyfriend Ed Ibbotson is a guitarist in the rock band Life in Film) at Margot Henderson’s Rochelle Canteen, Skye Gyngell’s Spring at Somerset House and new Haggerston hot spot Berber & Q.

Like a lot of Instagram foodie success stories, neither has had formal chef training, which means a rigorous two weeks of recipe testing before each event. This once led to ‘Lemon tart-gate’: 12 attempts to get a firm but biscuity pastry base just right.

With the supper-club scene getting ever more crowded, what makes a J&L event different? Firstly, it’s the seasonality of the produce: ‘I saw some tomatoes that came into my local greengrocers today,’ says Levine. ‘They smelled of summer so much, they nearly made me cry.’ Secondly, the soundtrack is toe-tapping Northern soul (on vinyl). Thirdly, it’s the signature Rocket Fuel cocktails: half gin, half Prosecco topped up with elder-flower cordial. ‘It’s the perfect icebreaker,’ says Jackson.

Jackson & Levine are hosting a summer feast on 17 July; jacksonandlevine.co.uk.
