Dinner on the Downs

Giving you a truly special dining experience. If you don't have a location in mind, I have a few suggestions.
To make your evening a little more special. If you'd like to make your evening that little more special. Some of those very artists I have the pleasure of calling friends, who, if available could come and serenade you as you dine, give you a mid course show or even recite a story as the twilight sets in.

The idea came about from spending a summer with my partner, in some stunning locations. One day as we sat and ate, watching another beautiful sunset; we spoke of how nice it would be to give others a taste of this experience.

That was the moment the idea was born. To give you the 'feel' of a restaurant outside I've cooked many different meals, for many different people in many different locations before. From Prince Charles at Syon Park to crews and artists at festivals.

I hadn't until now cooked romantic meals for 2 in picturesque outdoor settings.
