'Working with Marie for the past year has been the greatest benefit, she has given me the freedom to do what I love most, simply to cook in the kitchen. With her support, knowing that every aspect of the restaurant will be taken care of beautifully from the way the staff are trained & developed to the financial running of the business, right down to how the table is laid and which flowers sits in which vase. Her attention to detail is always faultless'.

I was introduced to Marie by a friend in January 2017. Not knowing London I didn't know where the restaurant should be located or indeed anything about the London restaurant scene. She found the site, negotiated with the landlords, oversaw the project whilst I was running my other restaurants in Bahrain. She did the interiors and recruited the team along with the PR. I trusted everything to her and it opened on time fourteen weeks after we had signed the lease. This is a testament to her knowledge of London, restaurants and her organisational, hardworking approach.
