Well, the question is…. cream or jam first, isn’t it? Of course, its jam first and then the clotted cream on top. That is evidently the way they do it in Cornwall where they sometimes even butter the scone before the jam. Or is it as they do in Devon, the other way round, cream […]
Never underestimate the importance of Pudding! You might have just eaten a large meal including a starter, main course and a generous cheese platter with bread or biscuits but when it comes to dessert or pudding it seems we always try to find room for this extra special treat. When you are in a restaurant, […]
The Magna Carta was signed in June 1215 between the barons of Medieval England and King John. ‘Magna Carta’ is Latin and means “Great Charter”. The Magna Carta was one of the most important documents of Medieval England. Authentic Medieval Banquet on the Thames to Celebrate 800 years of the Signing of the Magna Carta, there were even swans on the table..not real of course! […]

A huge thank you to you Lucinda & Sharon for such a wonderful meal at my ‘big birthday’ lunch on Saturday. The food was delicious, your staff are lovely and we were absolutely delighted with how everything went so smoothly, not even the M25 chaos threw you. The birthday cake was fabulous and my nieces […]
Thank you for making yesterday a very special day for us all. You and Margaret were a dream team – the food was a dream as was every aspect of the service from laying the table to washing up. It’s as my daughter predicted, we are sure your business in bookham is going to take […]
I wanted to tell you how much our guests really enjoyed our summer party at the weekend. They all commented on the absolutely lovely food and the menu certainly went down extremely well! I was really impressed by how you got on with the ‘job’ and you made it all seem effortless. This was in […]
Thanks for your kind birthday wishes and for everything you and your team did to help make Saturday such a special day. I have had such wonderful compliments from everyone who came. The food was outstanding (my folks and I were still enjoying your delicious sandwiches on Sunday and they remained wonderfully soft and moist); […]
I will of course be sending you a “proper” thank-you letter but just had to say how delighted Claire and I were with her lovely Vintage Tea Party. Your attention to detail is incredible and please do pass on our thanks to your excellent team, they all worked so constantly throughout the afternoon. We have […]

Everyone commented on how delicious the food was, with the beef really tender and the delicious cheesecake. We appreciated the generous portions and timely presentation, as well as the tasty vegetables. Thank you […]
My Aunt is an expert on cakes and she loved them all. Her one complaint was as I moved her from table to table she could not eat as many as usual – although she tells me she did manage two scones.
Just a few points that make her stand out from the rest – a comprehensive range of different food choices, competitve pricing, an invaluable site visit, always available to discuss options, efficient preparation and set up, the most delicious three course meal and staff who were not only friendly with everyone but who couldn’t do enough to help and did a great job clearing up.
I hope this finds you well. We are back to reality but still smiling and feeling elated. We just had the best day. I have written a few words below to try and convey our thanks. What can we say? You absolutely did us proud and provided the best wedding catering ever. We can say […]
Many thanks to you and your team! We all had such a marvellous afternoon and that was all due to your delicious food and efficiency 🙂 I have slowly come back down to earth but now have some wonderful memories… Very best wishes Caroline Lamaison.
Not only was your food sublime but your organisation skills were out of this world. Do you realise that you organised a highly successful party for 60 people in a week. In addition to the food, you were responsible for the marquee, the lighting, heating, tables. Chairs, toilets and staff. WOW. A truly memorable weekend. […]
My brother and I want to thank you for everything you did on Sunday to make the day go so well. You thought of everything. Having the children in the Octagon was a brilliant idea and the busy parents were all thrilled to return home with some goodies for tea and supper for their hungry […]

Choose from a wide selection of meats, fish and vegetarian options, accompany with fresh salads- my favourite being my traditional Spanish salad. We also offer a selection of beautiful deserts. Fresh strawberries, pavlova and cream is always a crowd pleaser.

The whole cooking process of my Ham, Leek & Mushroom Risotto. Easy and tasty family supper. The secret of risottos is to feed the stock to the rice gradually.
I am busy writing a new book at the moment available By April 2014, it will also tell the Home Cooking by Elizabeth Story – Family Cooking from the Heart. I will keep you updated
A great idea for a party is a whole Iberico ham served to your guests with other lovely Spanish Tapas and good Rioja Wine.
