DINNER PARTY WITH A CHEF AND SERVING TEAM
The team will be there to cook, lay the table and serve drinks and dinner. The team will then clear each course and leave the kitchen clean and tidy. They will leave you with coffee at the end of the meal and whatever glass wear you may still be using.
We can provide linen napkins and cloths, should you require it, candles, table decorations and fine wines. Please advise me on any of the items mentioned and we can discuss the details.
The price is for a set menu, but we can of course accommodate any dietary needs, please do get in touch to discuss.
All our dishes are handmade, the menus are designed around local, seasonal food and we only use the finest suppliers.
We always happy to design new dishes upon request incorporating your ideas.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
