Thank you, the food was absolutely delicious, we all enjoyed it very much and you did my late husband proud, he would have enjoyed the evening very much too.

Our encounter with chef Anita-Clare who graced our kitchen was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment they stepped through our door, we knew we were in for an unforgettable dinning experience.

With great pleasure, I extend my highest compliments to a chef whose culinary prowess is matched only by their remarkable ability to cater to our individual tastes and dietary preferences during our celebratory weekend.

Thank you again for an amazing experience.

Thank you for your message and for making Sian’s 50th birthday so special for her. It was a new experience for us using a private chef which we really enjoyed. The food was amazing and we would love to visit your restaurant in the future.

Let’s hear it for the best restaurant in Devon. Run by the best chef and her team. The beautiful meal my wife Nanna and I had with you was the best dining experience we’ve ever had. So, thank you Anita for your consistently high standards serving delicious, innovative food with the friendliest service we have experienced.
