Loved the gorgeous stately room we were sat in! It’s my favourite cozy space. The Duck Papardelle today was absolutely outstanding! The sauce had the most delectable flavours of earthy mushrooms and truffle. Wow! It was amazing!! Paired with the loveliest cocktail too. Beautiful service. So many smiles and happy people. So lovely to see! Thanks Killik! You’ve outdone yourselves again!
