Dear subscriber,

Well, summer is in full swing and though we have had a few gorgeous days – long may the summer continue and we have that elusive ‘Indian summer’ of yesteryear!
We launched our summer menu and celebrated our second birthday recently too as well as winning the Buckinghamshire Restaurant of the Year 2009. Further details on the barbeque celebration will be announced shortly.

We have been celebrating local Formula One racing outfit, Red Bull Racing’s recent form of success in this year’s Championship. Magnificent achievements by the team and we’re proud to live in the same new city as them: Long may their good fortune continue and keep the world’s focus on Milton Keynes as a city to compete with the best.
We would also like to add our voice to the bid by Milton Keynes to become one of the host cities for England’s World Cup bid 2018.

News:
Brunch in the garden: We are serving brunch on Sundays here at the restaurant. Hopefully the weather will come to the party and you will be able to relax in our award-winning garden courtyard, mulling over the papers, and enjoying a hearty ‘Cape-style’ breakfast to set you up for a relaxing Sunday. (Breakfast menu)

Mondays: We are still closed on Mondays, to give our restaurant and staff time to relax, before the onset of another week. However, we have had a few private parties using our restaurant for work/celebrations. Please enquire with our General Manager, about the various options.
The planned cookery school and private dining facilities are taking a little longer than initially planned, however as a valued subscriber, you will hear about it in here first.
