French Dinner Party

French Dinner Party for Eight (8) in Park Hill at the home of Director of Development Michael McNeill and his partner, Sean.

• Host your own dinner party, but let Michael do the cooking with a senior admin service team, including head waiter, Mark Twarogowski.

• You and your guests will enjoy a five-course home-cooked French (also Italian option) dinner for 8 including amusebouche, hors d’oeuvre, soup, entree et dessert (and fine wines of course).

• Decide on a date, craft the menu together with Michael, invite your friends and just show up!

• French attitude not included or required.

Thank You!
