Private Dinner Party, Rachel and Friends, Southampton, Hampshire

"Our family and friends celebrated my sisters birthday with an excellent dining experience by Chef Gary. Gary is a super talented chef and looked after everyone perfectly. What a fun night, definitely to be repeated!" Rachel Emery

This weekend, I was private chef to Rachel and friends & family, celebrating a special birthday at home. We had seven great guests with one vegetarian and another guest gluten free, so it was a pleasure to put in some extra thought into the menu. With the dinner party being a surprise for the birthday girl, Rachel chose on her sister's behalf for the maincourse, though for the rest of the dishes, I was given free range to produce something special to suit all. It was a very warm welcome at the beginning of the evening and I joined in on a very small glass of Champagnest the canapes were served ;)
