Chefs Table Dinners
Are back ‘Montpellier Style’. What does this mean you may ask? Well to put it simply these dinners are all about coming together and sharing our mutual love and passion for great food and wine. Matt Kemp likes to create an intimate space by closing off the upstairs Dining Room and setting the room up with one long Banquet table for 30 people. A one off themed seasonal 6-Course Tasting menu is created by Matt Kempf with wines matched by Sommelier Guy Collins. But what is really special is that you get to really particpate in the whole dining experience and not just be served a plate of food, so be prepared for a few surprises and these dinners are not for the feint hearted! As well, Matt Kemp will be hosting and dining with you so this gives you all the chance to get to know each other better. There will only be 4 of these Chefs Table Dinners this year and each dinner will only seat 30 people (including Matt Kemp). So if you are keen to come along and join in the fun then we recommend booking well in advance. Following are the dates and themes for the year including the menu for the Chefs Table Lamb Dinner:
