• March 16, 2019"What a fantastic experience. Food was exquisite. Nelson was so attentive. We were six females celebrating a big birthday and this meal and service was the end to a perfect day. We were staying in a hired lodge. We will definitely do this again. Would highly recommend - no complaints!
Excellent!!"

• Dec. 1, 2018Nelson was a delight, very professional and friendly. The food was amazing and our whole party would rate him very highly, one of our group is a chef himself and he said he could not fault him. Thank you Nelson for making our early Christmas celebration very enjoyable. We hope to book you again for next year.

From the canapes to the starter, main courses (beef and fish) to the dessert and chocolates with coffee - it was all wonderful and there wasn't a plate left with food! I would also like to say how generous the portions were.
Nelson also arranged for a waitress, Emma, to help on the night and she was great. Really frinedly and made sure everyone's glassess were topped up.
At the end of the evening the kitchen was left clean and the dishwasher was stacked! I could ask for more.
Thank you Nelson for a wonderful evening."
