Booked for Birthday party

Richard Johnson was excellent. He was very courteous, interesting and engaging. I had 2 small children sometimes mulling around and he was great with them. He was extremely well prepared so dinner was served on time, was beautifully presented and tasted fantastic. I would very much recommend him to others
