"Most importantly, the food was very good. The communication from Ed Dibbles was really useful throughout the process, especially given we had to cater for some intolerances. There was a little bit of a delay due to late arrival and the food was a little too hot as we asked for 'mild' when given the option.

Very impressed by Marco. He coped admirably in the small lodge kitchen; cooking and serving the 6 of us with much attention and care. The food was excellent, with particular praise for the polenta dish. The venison and duck were cooked perfectly and the coffee creme brulee was a hit. Thank you Marco. We would definitely do this again ☺️

We settled on a three course meal from the summer menu which was absolutely magnificent. Every plate, every course, whether vegetarian or meat, were all beautiful. The presentation was…
