Toni-Marie following dessert gave the accolade for the evening. The attention to detail was highlighted, along with appreciation for allowing us to enjoy some of the vintage China used in some of the courses. Using a vintage soup bowl, and dish for the palate cleanser was such a superb treat.
With the heart of the house and the brigade assembled it was time to announce the plate recipients for the evening.
