Summer bistro menu

"Dear James,
Words almost fail me in knowing how to congratulate you and your staff on the magnificent meals and service you provided to us over the weekend.
I - and many of my guests - have eaten in many Michelin restaurants all over the world and can honestly say that the quality of your food ranks with the best. We were bowled over. It would be invidious to single out any of the dishes as they were all incredible from the first bite to the last.
Kind regards,
Richard"

A personal chef is no longer a luxury - now it is a neccessity when planning your perfect event.

Bring the quality restaurant to your home. No baby sitter needed, no taxi, no deciding who is going to drive home. Relax as we set, cook, serve and clear exclusively in the privacy of your home.

Lobster newburg is on the 2011 menu!

As everything we serve is homemade fresh to order we ask that guests choose only one option per course for the whole party plus a vegetarian or childrens option if neccessary. If you would like an alternate main course we can serve the same garnish but serve an alternate meat/ fish choice.

All served with homemade bread rolls and finished with homemade chocolates.

We also have a lesser priced bistro menu

Children may have a plain version of the same main course as adults or we also have a children's menu (click here)
