Firstly, I just want to thank you for honouring our booking and making the planning as easy as possible despite the global pandemic. So many of my friends have not been so fortunate. We appreciated Simon's help with curating the menu from start to finish. It felt as though he quickly grasped what we wanted despite hardly knowing us. He managed to put together an outstanding menu within budget and, genuinely, all of our guests were in awe of how good the food was. I would 100% recommend to family and friends, and wouldn't hesitate to book with you again.
