Summer dinner party menus

Summer dinner party menu

Elderflower poached chicken

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.

Choose from our selection of dinner party menus

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 handmade chocolates from Miette in Stow on the Wold.

Prices from £26.00 inc VAT per person (Surcharge on parties of just 6 - 7 people to be cooked and served in the house 10%. * Does not apply to delivery meals).

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)
