Booked for Wedding

Kieran and his team were absolutely fantastic from start to finish - From the initial consultation, to design on the menu and suggestions made, to the execution on the day, everything was faultless! Our guests complimented the food non-stop. Kieran clearly uses quality produce and is a talented chef, we really cannot thank him enough for making our event such a success.

Beatrice Purser-Hallard3 May 2019

Booked for Anniversary

We were bowled over by just how amazing our celebration meal was, provided by Demaine Artisan. A 3 course meal with canapes for 8 people with diverse dietary needs was served with sophistication and panache. Everything went smoothly from the first booking to the spotlessly clean kitchen that was left once they had gone. The food was exquisite, delicious and presented beautifully, served very elegantly, with friendly and attentive waiting staff who clearly thought deeply about the smallest detail that could make the event more special. On top of everything they are genuinely nice people who you are happy to welcome into your home/property - polite, efficient and great to have met them.

Mark T Killin30 Dec 2018
