Private Dinner Party, Kate Harrill, Portsmouth, Hampshire

September 06, 2016

"Brilliant birthday celebration dinner party - beautifully presented delicious food ! Gary could not have been more helpful in finalising the arrangements and it was a real pleasure to deal with him throughout" Kate Harrill,

This Weekend I traveled to Portsmouth to cook three courses for a table of 7 fantastic guests. Serving Canapes prior to Dinner along with some delicious sparkling English Wine went down really well and each course followed smoothly after. I managed to enjoy a superb glass of red during the evening and it was a huge pleasure to cook for such lovely people.
