Private Christmas Dinner Party with ChefGary and "The Williams'"

January 06, 2017

It has been a fabulously busy December with plenty of Dinner Parties, Birthday Celebrations, Wedding Anniversaries and even a Winter Wedding. My first official "Christmas Dinner Party" however, was at the beginning of December for some of my regular diners in Hampshire for which I provided a superb tasting menu. From canapes to dessert, every course was very well received, making the evening a joy to be providing a delicious banquet of some exquisite plates of food :) I was warmly welcomed to the table to enjoy some very pleasant and titillating wine towards the end of the evening which was the perfect finish to no less than 9 splendid courses. :)
