I write the menu based on availability, seasonality and what I fancy delighting my guests with. I use the very best ingredients, including local produce as well as a few vegetables, fruits, herbs and salads that I have grown.
Home restaurants or 'pop up restaurants' are becoming very popular as an alternative way to eat out, so I am delighted to introduce Knife & Fork, which provides a unique dining experience in Deddington, Oxfordshire.
Having qualified as a professional chef at Ashburton Cookery School’s Professional Chef’s Academy and with over 25 years experience of cooking, including running my own catering company for several years, I am delighted to be able to invite you into my home and to be able to cook for you.
I take my inspiration for menus from the ingredients and cuisine of both France and Asia, mixed in with my foundation of British cuisine, using local and seasonal ingredients as well as more unusual ones from further afield. My menus are varied as I love to surprise and delight, adding a little unexpected item here and there to lift the flavours and pleasure.
I serve a set five course set menu with additional complimentary drink and canapés to start and petits fours with tea or coffee afterwards. I decide what to cook based on availability, seasonality and what I fancy delighting my guests with on the night. Not knowing the menu is all part of the dining experience, so come and join us for dinner and enjoy top quality food in a relaxed and sociable atmosphere.
