ABOUT THE OWNER
I was born and raised in the Midlands of England but I have lived in Texas for the past 29 years. I love to cook, travel, read and listen to jazz. I’m married with 3 grown daughters. I was trained in Europe as a Saucier Chef in the classic style. Prior to coming to the states, I traveled to many countries all over the world and lived in Dubai UAE for 4 years. This has created in me an awareness and appreciation for many cultures. I own an Event Management company here in Houston and I am a certified NVQ service trainer.
(National Vocational Qualifications is the food service training standard of England) I have trained service staff for hotels, catering companies country clubs,and restaurants in the art of good service.
SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD
We're centrally located in the exclusive neighborhood, Bellaire. There is easy and fast access to 610, Hwy 59, all major freeways, areas and attractions in Houston. Bellaire is very quiet, low-traffic and family-friendly. Enjoy the walking / biking path with tree lined streets, beautiful homes and access to parks and The Nature Center. Although we live in the 3rd largest city in America, Bellaire is small city inside the central loop of Houston with its own police, fire and municipal services that pride themselves on their quality of service and prompt response time.
