"Hen Do FOOD Heaven"
Ian cooked a meal for a hen do I organised and Rosie did the service and made the table look amazing. They were both such lovely people to have in the house for the event and were flexible around us. The food was seriously tasty and it being cooked over the fire added to the flavour and sense of occasion. Would highly recommend!

“Our family and friends had the pleasure of experiencing Ians cooking at our wedding (feeding 65), privately for a celebration after for a more intimate meal (feeding 12), and many times more at Copsegrove Feasts, and we can genuinely can say he is one incredible chef. Every course, canapé and desert have such unique and delicious flavours. We are a family of foodies and Ian tops the list.
