Hi Stephen and Lola,

Thank you so much for making my 40th birthday such a wonderful, memorable night for Mark and I and our close friends.
The service we received from the both of you, was warm and friendly while being very efficient and professional.
The entree and main were absolutely outstanding both in presentation and taste and 2 weeks later everyone is still raving about how delicious and stunning everything was. It definitely felt like we were in a top restaurant within the comfort of our home. The birthday cake was decorated beautifully.
The fact that everyone's glasses were regularly topped up with subtle efficiency, the dishes done and kitchen left spotlessly clean was amazing.
An outstanding evening thanks to you both. We will definitely be using your services again and would highly recommend you!

Kind regards

Andrea Campbell
