Booked for Celebration

Adam was the ultimate professional, great communication in the build up , and then the food was unreal. My favourites being the , lobster bisque , the flavour was beautiful , followed by the beef wellington which was so tender and flavoursome , but not overbearing at all, and then finished with the brownie which I can honestly say is the best brownie I have ever had , so good. Our whole party throughly enjoyed every bit , and we were so full we had the save the cheese for the following day. Which may I add , was a very generous portion of high quality cheese. The added surprise was Adam’s cleanliness throughout the whole evening , serving the food , cleaning the entire kitchen and leaving us with nothing to do other than sit in a chair stuffed and feeling happy. Thanks for a great evening Adam.

We had a great experience for my 30th. Arrived on time and quietly got on with everything. Very friendly. Offered to help with wine. Food was delicious. Cleaned up and left the place spotless. Would recommend to a friend!

Booked for Birthday party

I would highly recommend Edward, he was great to deal with from start to finish, very good communication even before we had finalised the booking to ensure the experience would be excellent. The food was excellent, the steak just melted in your mouth. We had an open plan kitchen diner, so Edward was always in the same area as the party, he was engaging when required and respectful at other times. At the end of the meal Edward left the kitchen clean and tidy. Thank you Edward, we will definitely book again for any future needs

Booked for Birthday party

Excellent food & service for my husband's birthday. We had the 5 course dinner plus the cheese board and every course was exceptional. As was the feedback from the vegan options. Great communication prior to the event. I wouldn't hesitate to use this company again and have already recommended to friends.
