Booked with Poptop

"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…
