What sets us apart is simple: it’s us. We don’t outsource or palm you off to a team of strangers. When you book Val and John, you get Val and John. From planning the menu to plating the dessert, we’re in it together, just like we are in life. Every step of the way we are there, striving for perfection not just in presentation but flavour too- which is truly an art form. That adds a layer of intimacy and authenticity you won’t find at a restaurant.
We’ve had guests tell us it felt like old friends came over to cook for them. That’s exactly what we aim for-connection, warmth, and that extra little touch only a family-run business can offer.
