Caldesi in Campagna gets off to a great start

2007/09/27 06:46 | Katie Caldesi | Caldesi

We have now officially opened our restaurant and have had our launch to the press. The sun shone last Saturday and despite my nerves they all seemed very happy, so we will await the reviews.

The garden at the back of the restaurant is now finished, complete with fountain, a huge array of terracotta pots that we brought back from Italy and herbs everywhere. The wood burning oven despite annoying our neighbour has worked perfectly and was much needed on the day of the launch as our gas oven inside broke down so everything was cooked outside.

The jazz band were great, it was Sam’s band. Sam and Jackie were knocked out of the show The Restaurant in week two. We met them and decided his jazz was better than his restaurant running and we invited them to play.

Off to London now to the businesses there, Marylebone is still a great place to be but I am more than content to come back to peaceful Bray in the evenings.
