The people behind the table

A little about us

With roots in Peru and early experience in a family-run Sardinian restaurant in London, our backgrounds blend Latin American warmth with Mediterranean tradition. Judith brings a wealth of experience from her family’s catering business in Peru, and together we have developed a style that is both comforting and refined.

We specialise in hearty, flavourful dishes designed to make guests feel at home, because creating a welcoming, memorable experience is at the heart of everything we do.

Kind words

What guests say.

They cooked for our anniversary dinner and it was the best meal we have had in years. The Peruvian touches were a lovely surprise and the kitchen was left cleaner than they found it.

From the first menu chat to the last plate, everything was effortless. Our guests are still talking about the canapés and the short rib.

We hosted twelve for a big birthday and didn't lift a finger all evening. Warm, generous food and genuinely lovely people to have in your home.
