Comments from our frist underground night

Here are the comments that our guests left for us on Friday evening:

"The ambience on arrival was perfect, guests were made to feel special and looked after.  The first course was "to die for".  The flavours were just right - the ham in particular was so tasty.  Main course - lamb was very tender and flavourful.  Dessert - there was no mistaking that it was fresh rhubarb - something that one doen't taste often.  The vanilla ice cream complemenetd the rhubarb - absolutely delicious" Lynda

"Thank you for a wonderful evening!  Beautiful food and great company!  I am looking forward to writing a piece about how fantastic my first supperclub experience was.  Good luck with the future of Calon Y Gegin, what a great start! Many thanks" Caroline

"The food was lovely - tasty & fresh.  The setting was comforting & the lighting was good.  The leek and potato soup was warm and comforting - as it should be.  The butter was amazing - so soft and rich.  Lamb was tender and melted in your mouth.  The dessert was tangy and sweet - great combo.  The meal was amazing - well done.  Congratulations on your 1st underground night xxx" Chris
