Stories and testimonials

Terry was a wonderful chef. He cooked 3 wonderful courses for 12 people, with a perfect amount of time between courses. He was very polite, lovely to chat to and came out and explained the dishes. The food was beautifully presented and served and tasted incredible. Would definitely recommend.

My wife is a fussy vegetarian with a couple of minor intolerances he listened to us and produced a lovely menu which was everything we wanted, with spectacular smells from the kitchen our taste buds waited in anticipation and then in heaven when the good arrived. He explained each dish as he served us, he was really polite and accommodating. A big thank you absolutely prefect. Paul and Claire
