Roger Pickett18 Mar 2022

Booked for Birthday party

A superb 5 course 80th birthday luncheon celebration with utterly delicious courses and the tenderest roast fillet of beef. The sauce was so good one could drink it by the glass-full. One member of the party even thoroughly enjoyed two particular ingredients she didn't like and has changed her mind! Cooking at Michelin* level. Matched with our own wines it was a great and memorable luncheon

A very successful evening, Mark was very attentive to all our needs. He accommodate to our need to delay some of the timings due to unpredictable children. Nothing was too much trouble for him. We would definitely recommend this dining experience, and having a clean kitchen with no washing up was the icing on the cake.
