Last night we had the pleasure of hosting members in our private dining room, for the third year running. 🤩🥃
They send the tasting notes of the whiskey’s they’ll be tasting and our chefs create dishes to match the flavours of the whiskey. The guests applauded the chefs for perfectly balancing the flavours of the food with the whiskeys, and compliments were given to them all night. These guys and gals take their whiskey very seriously, so this praise is not taken lightly! 🤩
Thanks to Fred and Sonia for organising the event and for trusting us once again with your event. It’s always such a pleasure to see you all and we looking forward to joining you at the next one 🩷🥃

What an incredible day yesterday was. The sun was shining and everything looked as stunning as always !
👰🏼♀️🤵🏻♂️Our happy couple wanted an extended cocktail hour, which meant that guests enjoyed the beautiful grounds for 3 hours before mains were served so, when the 125 guests filled the courtyard, we were ready to serve them 6 delicious canapés!
The guests were in awe of the smells coming from our hibachi grill, live chef station, where Michael was cooking up some chicken schawarma and lamb shish kebabs with her the open flames 🔥, and Michael was loving having a chat with everyone who swarmed to him 👨🏻🍳
Meanwhile, our gorgeous wait staff were serving up their usual happy faces, as well as our delicious Tempura prawns, cheeseburger spring rolls, scallops and mushroom duxelles! 😍
After some epic speeches and some Irish jigging 🇮🇪, the bridal party entered the cool, air conditioned marquee, where we served our Middle Eastern Lamb Rump and Moroccan Chicken. 🤩
After some more incredible speeches, the party started back out in the romantically lit court yard💕, were we joined the dance floor to serve wedding cake for dessert and, after a couple more hours of 💃🏽 , we surprised and delighted guests with some late night snacks, which were our American Cheese and Southern Fried Chicken Burgers! 🍔 🤤
It was a feast of delights and the guests were blown away! We will never ever get tired of seeing guests faces light up and hearing their yummy noises when they taste our food 🥰🥰🥰

One of our recents events - a house warming at a gorgeous family property!
We created a customised Spanish menu, where we served roaming canapés, but our Live Paella Station was the star of the show! 🥘
Thanks as always to @rhiannasmithevents for bringing us in on these special soirées! 🩷
Thank you to everyone who came or our Middle Eastern pop up restaurant. We LOVE having friends old and new come through our doors and seeing everyone have a good time!😍
I (Nicki) even attended as a guest one night, and I couldn’t believe how the food could taste even better, but it did! I loved hearing the buzz of people laughing and having a good time and seeing the delight on people’s faces as they tasted each course! And getting to hang with guests as a guest myself, it was a really great experience that I could get used to! 😍😁
The chefs are already working on the next one and we look forward to sharing it with you soon 🩷
