Thank you for your fantastic service!
The only feedback we have is positive – amazing food, amazing talent. The crew loved it and were raving about the food and your knowledge. Stevie T was amazing too.

A meal with Dane is a deeply moving experience! We have had the privilege of many of Danes creations - all are a flavour explosion & exquisitely crafted. The stories that lie behind every dish hold inspiration from the land, culture & people and his intentionality for all ingredients to be foraged, locally and sustainably sourced are a credit to his passion and purpose. We couldn’t recommend dining with him more highly, you’ll want to book him again and again & like we did - a cooking lesson too!
