Mezze Feast at Cuckoo Gin
Wonderful and plentiful food and the chance to try dishes I've never eaten before. Maria is a fabulous host and we've booked her next event even before she's announced the theme of the event. It's not my first time going to Maria's supper club (and definitely not the last) and the two friends I invited along can't wait for the next one either. Cannot recommend more highly!!

Indian Street Food with Cuckoo Gin
Another great evening of food by Maria. Absolutely delicious and fresh. We love the way Maria always takes time to check with guests on how they have found the food and explains how the dishes are made. Can highly recommend a supper event with Maria. A big thank you to the staff a Brindle distillery for great drinks and service.

Indian Street Food with Cuckoo Gin
The food was lovely but all being on the same plate was a bit of a mistake. It would have been nice to know what each of the dishes were really. The venue was lovely, very festive and perfect hosts. Maria spoke to us very briefly.

Maria's opening speech was great - I loved the bit about confiscating any mobile phones! The food was delicious as always, some different flavours mingled together and the spicy sauce was delicious.

The venue, atmosphere and menu were all just right and I will definitely book again. If I am very honest, although delicious, after the first course, which was excellent, the rest of the meal lacked a little of the sparkle that was there at the Greek meal previously. I still enjoyed it and will be back for more……..

Loved it, Maria was great, informative, honest about things (something had gone amiss with her dessert crumb, so she had made another batch in another flavour and we got to try both with the caveat of knowing one was not quite how it should have been). The Vietnamese night is just awesome, this was our second time. I hope other venues will hold similar events, Lancaster brewery would be great as it's more local (hint intended) can't fault it at all, highly recommend

The food that was suggested was the food that arrived! Wonderful mix of different bits and pieces providing a food adventure! I really like that whilst we had three sides each one in each trio was different to extend what we were tasting. I think a little piece of bread to dip into the humous for example would have been lovely but in no way affected the enjoyment of the meal! This is exactly the type meal my partner and I enjoy - together, exploring new tastes! Forget wasting your time and money on well known delivery services, pop over the Maria’s and collect a box of delicious food! What’s next?? We can’t wait :-)

A fabulous night was had by all. The gang appreciated the contacts from the hosts.... the food was fabulous and the drink flowed well! Sadly, the social distancing removes one of the key ingredients in Marias endevours, of mixing with strangers and sharing food and conversation - however - this format is great and whilst catering for 100 with food is a very different animal to in your own home - it is quite brilliant. I so want to come to one of the Vietnamese food events - I hear that the dishes are sublime! Many thanks Hilary

Maria was great, from the start very active chatting to people as they settled to tables and then a brief group chat about the courses and etiquette - very much approved of her “no mobile phones” rule during dinner. Fine for photos and all but no constant phone usage hurrah 😀 the food itself was divine - the starter was probably my favourite simply because it was such a variety of flavours - delicious. The fish and the lamb both cooked wonderfully and the dessert - well, rice pudding with rose water and pistachio - absolutely divine. Can’t wait for the next one now! Thanks Maria and your team!

The salads and tart were delicious. Slow eating allowed each flavour to burst on the palate. Some of the flavours were very subtle and it was well worth taking time to taste them. This was a delightful experience. I have eaten at Maria's round her table and in Covid times with Take Away and the food is consistently of a very very high standard. Maria is delightful and the whole experience is wonderful.

Fantastic food and great host , table was very full not just with food but with conversation and laughter Already thinking of trying other nights that maria hosts My only niggle would be more heat in the steak and mango salad ( chilly heat it can take it) but thats also because I love chilly in salads Fantastic deserts If you don't go your missing out

I cannot fault Maria as a host. She is extremely welcoming, encourages conversations, puts everyone at ease. Most importantly her cooking is exceptional. I would highly recommend Dinner at Marias.
