Our Story

A sixteen-year-old boy started his chef career in Germany as a trainee chef! This is where it all began…

Felt a bit ruthless that my chef school threw me into the deep end. This was my first summer holiday, instead of enjoying the summer with friends and family, I needed to work. I was very passionate and dedicated about cooking and I felt super nervous to turn up to a place by myself, in a country where I couldn’t even speak their language.

After a difficult couple of weeks, I managed to adopt to the situation and become more familiar with the kitchen and the staff. I started feeling more comfortable. I ended up here for a fabulous three months and I even built up a good relationship with the head chef there. After 17 years have gone by, we still speak sometimes.

Since then, I have worked a few years in my home country (Hungary) and a couple of years in the Netherlands. I arrived in the UK in 2010 and remember my first job where I felt the same as I did when I was 16 in Germany. Once again, I adopted really well to the situation, and I learned the language just as fast. I learned the culture and the gastronomy of Britain too!

Now, here we are. My wife and I now own this tiny little gem placed in Ledbury where we do our best to please every single one of our customers. We work together closely with some amazing local shops and food producers and with our experience and knowledge we continue to come up with quirky seasonal menus and some delicious specials.

We are slowly but surely starting to refurbish the whole cafe / steakhouse, but it is still under process. Our aim was to make the kitchen go through modernisation first. It was a very challenging process, but we did it! We achieved this so that we can deliver this delicious food and fab service with the best possible, 5-star hygiene rating.

We will continue working hard, making changes along the way, and we will always here for you, either for a quick lunch or coffee, a romantic dinner or even a birthday meal.

Thank you for reading and we hope to see you soon.
