But I don't understand...

Spreading the word has been fun... but after lots of smiles and 'oooohs' then comes the confusion - 'So, just to be sure, strangers will be eating dinner in your house, the one you actually live in?'

Well, yes, that is the plan.

People love the idea, but think it is a little weird to eat in a stranger's home. Obviously most of the people we've been talking to are friends, so they get it after a little bit of explanation; they've eaten here hundreds of times before, they can imagine it and I believe they quite liked it.

We just want to share the love a bit more. With you.

Well, not quite like that, and I promise you, the experience will not be weird, or pretentious; our front of house man will be on hand to settle you in, help you make friends. More importantly the cook promises  you a right mean feast, it's quality AND quantity.
