FAQs

A home restaurant? What's that then?

It's a restaurant in somebody's home. I'm open once a week. You book at wegottickets.com and pay in advance. This is because a home restaurant doesn't have walk in traffic.

What sort of food is it?

I cook on an Aga (one of only 3 restaurants in the UK that cooks solely on an Aga) which is a massive cast iron oven that is on all the time.
I don't cook meat, I do cook fish and am vegetarian friendly. I will do vegan/gluten free if you let me know 4 or 5 days beforehand (not too far in advance as I'll probably forget).
My core cuisine is probably Italian and French but also Indian, Thai, Mexican.
If it's appropriate to the meal, I do great cheese boards.

How many people come?


Normally I have about 30 covers but sometimes I do pop up dinners elsewhere with more people. You can also hire the summerhouse (a cosy shed) for up to five people. I do private dinners too if I feel like it.

Can I come on my own?

Yes. You are very welcome to come on your own. You will be sat at a mixed table and won't feel at all like a saddo.


Who cooks it all?

I do. I sometimes have guest chefs who cook a course.


Booze...how does that work?

You will get a free cocktail at the beginning afterwards you can bring your own. No corkage charge. Sometimes I get a temporary alcohol license and will sell drink.

I'm scared, will I feel uncomfortable? Are you a mad axe murderer?

Don't be scared. It's never awkward. Are you a mad axe murderer?

What do you do the rest of the time?

I write and photograph. But each of these dinners take about four days on average. So I couldn't do a full time job as well.
