✨ MENU MONDAY ✨

There’s something undeniably special about a menu that feels both elegant and indulgent.

This week’s menu brings together classic flavours, beautiful ingredients and a touch of occasion — the kind of dining experience designed for long conversations, full glasses and memorable evenings around the table.

Pan Fried Duck
Cucumber & Spring Onion Salad
Beef Wellington
Pommes Anna, Roasted Baby Carrots, Peas & Beans, Port Jus
Celebration of Strawberries
Strawberry Meringue, Pickled Strawberries, Fresh Strawberries & Strawberry Parfait

For me, a great menu should tell a story. It should have balance, create anticipation and leave guests talking about it long after the final course has been served.

This is exactly the type of menu I love creating for intimate private dining experiences, special celebrations and occasions where the food deserves to be part of the memory.

Which course would you be most excited to see arrive at your table?

☀️ SUMMER HOSTING INSPIRATION ☀️

When it comes to summer entertaining, I love taking inspiration from destinations, flavours and colours to create a dining experience that feels completely immersive.

This week, I’m dreaming of a Greek-inspired summer table — think beautiful shades of blue and yellow, abundant sharing dishes, fresh seasonal ingredients and the unmistakable scent of citrus carried on a warm breeze.

Picture a menu filled with:
🍋 Limoncello Fizz
🍋 Burrata with heritage tomatoes, basil and olive oil
🍋 Lemon Chicken Orzo
🍋 Greek-inspired salads with feta, olives and fresh herbs
🍋 Raspberry & Lemon Tiramisu

For me, the best gatherings are never about complicated food. They’re about generous platters, relaxed conversation and creating a table where people naturally linger long after the meal is finished.

Whether you’re hosting family, celebrating with friends or planning a special occasion, a thoughtfully styled table and seasonal menu can transform a simple meal into something truly memorable.
If you were hosting your dream summer dinner party, what theme would you choose?

✨ THROWBACK THURSDAY ✨

A moment I’ll always be incredibly proud, having the absolute honour of looking after Bob Mortimer, Paul Whitehouse and the wonderful crew from Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing

Creating food for people is always special, but being trusted to look after such a lovely team behind the scenes was something I won’t forget.

Moments like this are a reminder of why I love what I do! Bringing people together over great food and making sure they feel genuinely looked after.

Thank you to for making it a week of belly laughs & memories
